rights and is, in most cases, for a limited period which is specified in 

regulations or in the document that segregates the lands. Where there is 

an administrative appeal or review action on an application pursuant to 

part 4 or other subparts of this title, the segregative period continues 

in effect until publication of an opening order.

    (b) Opening orders may be issued at any time but are required when 

the opening date is not specified in the document creating the 

segregation, or when an action is taken to terminate the segregative 

effect and open the lands prior to the specified opening date.
