                    TITLE 43--PUBLIC LANDS: INTERIOR

 

    CHAPTER II--BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

 

PART 2450_PETITION-APPLICATION CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM--Table of Contents

 

              Subpart 2450_Petition-Application Procedures

 

Sec.  2450.6  Effect of final order.



    (a) A final order of the Secretary shall continue in full force and 

effect so long as the lands remain subject to classification under the 

authorities cited in subpart 2400 until an authorized officer revokes or 

modifies it. Until it is so revoked or modified, all applications and 

petition-applications for the lands not consistent with the 

classification of the lands will not be allowed. Any payments submitted 

therewith will be returned. If the order is revoked or modified, the 

land will be opened to entry on an equal-opportunity basis after public 

notice in accordance with applicable regulations for the purpose for 

which it may be classified.

    (b) Nothing in this section, however, shall prevent the Secretary of 

the Interior, personally and not through a delegate, from vacating or 

modifying a final order of the Secretary. In the event that the 

Secretary vacates or modifies a final order within sixty days of the 

date it became final, any preference right of a petitioner-applicant 

will be restored.
