opened 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 9 a.m. on April 24, 1996, 
shall be considered as simultaneously filed at that time. Those 
received thereafter shall be considered in order of filing.
    3. At 9 a.m. on April 24, 1996, the land will be opened to location

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 (1988), shall vest no rights

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.
