§ 17.102. Decennial filings.

(a)  Every corporation or other association which has its name registered under 54 Pa.C.S. Chapter 5 (relating to corporate and association names) is required by 54 Pa.C.S. §  503 (relating to decennial filings required), decennially, during the year 2000 and each year thereafter divisible by ten, to file in the Department a report on Form DSCB:54-503 (Decennial Report of Association Continued Existence).
(b)  The decennial filing requirement does not apply to:
   (1)  A corporation or other association which during the preceding 10 years has made a filing in the Department a permanent record of which is retained by the Department. The Department retains a permanent record of the filings under this subpart, except for filings on a form listed in §  17.51 (relating to official forms).
   (2)  A foreign corporation whose name is registered under section 4131 of the BCL (relating to registration of name) or section 6131 of the NPCL (relating to registration of name) or a similar provision of law.
(c)  On January 1 of the year following the year during which a report is required to be filed as provided in subsection (a), the name of every corporation and other association which has failed to comply with the requirement will under 54 Pa.C.S. §  504 (relating to effect of failure to make decennial filings) no longer be deemed to be registered under 54 Pa.C.S. Chapter 5.
(d)  A corporation or other association which has failed to file a report as provided in subsection (a) may do so at any later time. The filing shall under 54 Pa.C.S. §  505 (relating to late filings) reinstate the name of the corporation or other association on the register established by 54 Pa.C.S. Chapter 5 unless its name has been appropriated during the period of the delinquency by another corporation or association in the manner provided by law.
