    Title to the non-Federal lands was accepted on July 19, 1994. The 
value of the Federal lands exceeded the value of the non-Federal lands 
by $1,612,500.00. An equalization payment in that amount was made to 
the United States by Olympic Land Corporation. The purpose of the 
exchange was for the United States to acquire non-Federal lands with 
high value for recreation and riparian habitat.
    At 10 a.m. on November 28, 1994 the lands acquired by the United 
States will be open to the operation of the public land laws generally, 
subject to valid existing rights, the provisions of existing 
withdrawals, other segregations of record and the requirements of 
applicable law. All valid applications received at or prior to 10 a.m. 
on November 28, 1994 will be considered as simultaneously filed at the 
time. Those received thereafter shall be considered in the order of 
filing.
    At 10 a.m. on November 28, 1994 the land acquired by the United 
States will be open to location under the mining laws. Appropriation of 
the land under the general mining laws prior to the date and time of 
restoration is unauthorized. Any such attempted appropriation, 
including attempted adverse possession under 30 U.S.C. 38, shall vest 
no rights against the United States. Acts required to establish a 
location and to initiate a right of possession are governed by State 
law where not in conflict with Federal law. The Bureau of Land 
Management will not intervene in disputes between rival locators over 
possessory rights since Congress has provided for such determinations 
in local courts.
    At 10 a.m. on November 28, 1994 the land acquired by the United 
States will also be open to applications/offers under the mineral 
leasing laws, the material sale laws, and the Geothermal Steam Act.
    At 10 a.m. on November 28, 1994 the lands acquired by the United 
States, which lie within National Forest boundaries, will be open to 
entry in accordance with the laws, rules and regulations of the U.S. 
Forest Service.
