other segregations of record, and the

requirements of applicable law, the

public lands withdrawn by the

Executive orders listed in Paragraph 1

such forms of disposition as may by law

be made of National Forest System

lands. All valid applications received at

opened to location and entry under the

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.
