(i)intends to graze, or
(ii)intends to permit another person to graze,
animals of the type referred to in paragraph (1) on that land;
(b)in any case to which sub-paragraph (a)(i) applies, that farmer submits to the Department written notification in such form as the Department may reasonably require to the effect that he intends to graze such animals on that land;
(c)in any case to which sub-paragraph (a)(ii) applies, that farmer and that other person jointly submit to the Department written notification in such form as the Department may reasonably require to the effect that that farmer intends to permit that other person to graze such animals on that land and that that other person intends to graze such animals on that land; and
