        of cancellation if it is not to be effective upon the filing
        of the certificate.
            (5)  Any other information the general partners filing
        the certificate determine.
        (b)  Filing.--The certificate of cancellation and the
     certificates or statement required by section 139 (relating to
     tax clearance of certain fundamental transactions) shall be
     filed in the department.
        (c)  Effectiveness of certificate of cancellation.--Upon the
     filing of the certificate of cancellation in the department or

     cancellation, whichever is later, the certificate of

     limited partnership shall be canceled.
        (d)  Dissolution by domestication.--Whenever a domestic
     limited partnership has domesticated itself under the laws of
     another jurisdiction by action similar to that provided by
     section 8590 (relating to domestication) and has authorized that
     action by the vote required by this chapter for the approval of
