Anyone claiming coal land under section 72 must file a declaratory statement within 60 days of starting to live on and improve the land. If the official map of the area isn't on file yet when the improvements begin, the claimant instead gets 60 days from when that map arrives at the local land office.

This section sets the deadline for filing a coal-land claim made under section 72 of this title. - Normally, the claimant must present the claim to the register of the proper land district within 60 days after two things have happened: the person has taken actual possession of the land, and has begun making improvements on it. This is done by filing a document called a declaratory statement. - There is an exception. If the "township plat" — the official survey map of the area — is not yet on file at the land office when the improvements begin, the 60-day deadline instead starts on the day that plat is received at the district office.

All claims under section 72 of this title must be presented to the register of the proper land district within sixty days after the date of actual possession and the commencement of improvements on the land, by the filing of a declaratory statement therefor; but when the township plat is not on file at the date of such improvement, filing must be made within sixty days from the receipt of such plat at the district office.
