    (a) If a proposal or an application described in Sec. 2091.3-1 of 
this part is not denied, modified, or otherwise terminated prior to the 
end of the segregative periods set out in Sec. 2091.3-1 of this part,

    (2) The expiration of the applicable segregation period set out in 
Sec. 2091.3-1 of this part.
    (b) If the proposal or application described in Sec. 2091.3-1 of

    (c) Subject to valid existing rights, non-Federal lands acquired 
through exchange by the United States shall be segregated automatically 
from appropriation under the public land laws and mineral laws for 90 
days after acceptance of title by the United States, and the public land 
records shall be noted accordingly. Except to the extent otherwise 
provided by law, the lands shall be open to the operation of the public 
land laws and mineral laws at midnight 90 days after the day title was 
accepted unless otherwise segregated pursuant to part 2300 of this 
title. (See 43 CFR 2201.9(b))
