TITLE 2: NATURAL RESOURCES
DIVISION 4: LAND RESOURCES
§ 4231. Registration Areas: Designation. The Senior Land Commissioner shall designate a registration area or areas within which he or she believes it will be desirable and practicable to register within a year most of the land, including all that concerning which there are no major disputes. When work in any designated registration area has been completed except for disputed cases, or when work in any designated registration area cannot be completed within one year and in the opinion of the Senior Land Commissioner the public interest would be served by moving to a new registration area or areas, the Senior Land Commissioner may designate a new registration area or areas and so on until all parts of the Commonwealth in which the Senior Land Commissioner believes it will be desirable to have lands registered have been so designated.
