2. At 9 a.m. on November 15, 2000,

subject to valid existing rights, the

provisions of existing withdrawals,

other segregations of record, and the

requirements of applicable law, the

public lands withdrawn by the

Executive orders listed in Paragraph 1

shall be opened to the operation of the

public land laws generally and the

National Forest System lands

withdrawn by the Executive orders

listed in Paragraph 1 shall be opened to

such forms of disposition as may by law

be made of National Forest System

of record, and the requirements of

applicable law. Appropriation of the

lands that were withdrawn pursuant to

the Executive orders listed in Paragraph

nonmetalliferous mining prior to the

date and time of restoration is

unauthorized. Any such attempted

appropriation, including attempted

adverse possession under 30 U.S.C. 38

(1994), 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.
