1. The Bureau of Land Management Order dated January 28, 1952, which withdrew public lands for the Bureau of Reclamation's Mountain Home Reclamation Project, is hereby revoked in its entirety. 

2. At 9 a.m. on June 4, 2001, the lands described in paragraph 1 will be 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 June 4, 2001, shall be considered as simultaneously filed at that time. Those received thereafter shall be considered in the order of filing. 

3. At 9 a.m. on June 4, 2001, the lands described in paragraph 1 will be opened to location and entry under the United States mining laws, subject to valid existing rights, the provisions of existing withdrawals, other segregations of record, and the requirements of applicable law. Appropriation of any of the lands described in this order under the general mining laws prior to the date and time of restoration is unauthorized. Any such attempted appropriation, including attempted adverse 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.
