a qualified person, association, or corporation, the claimant must file 
notice of the claim in the proper office, within 90 days from that date.
    (b) Form of notice. The notice must be filed on a form approved by 
the Director in triplicate if the land is unsurveyed, or in duplicate if 
surveyed, and shall contain:
    (1) The name and address of the claimant, (2) age and citizenship, 
(3) date of occupancy, and (4) the description of the land by legal 
subdivisions, section, township and range, if surveyed, or, if 
unsurveyed, by metes and bounds with reference to some natural object or 
permanent monument, giving, if desired, the approximate latitude and 
longitude. The notice must designate the kind of trade, manufacture, or 
other productive industry in connection with which the site is 
maintained or desired.
    (c) Failure to file notice. Unless a notice of the claim is filed 
within the time prescribed in paragraph (a) of this section no credit 
shall be given for occupancy of the site prior to filing of notice in 
the proper office, or application to purchase, whichever is earlier.
    (d) Recording fee. The notice of the claim must be accompanied by a 
remittance of $10.00, which will be earned and applied as a service 
charge for recording the notice, and will not be returnable, except in 
cases where the notice is not acceptable to the proper office for 
recording, because the land is not subject to the form of disposition 
specified in the notice.
