(2) Class two--Land owned by the State of New Jersey, any of its political subdivisions, or any other public agency or instrumentality which enjoys the privilege of general property tax exemption under the laws of the State, and which land is designated by the owner as ultimately disposable to private ownership, or usable by private parties.

(3) Class three--All other land.

b. The State, its political subdivisions, or any other public agency or instrumentality owning land in the district shall be required to certify to the commission, by a date established by the commission, whether said lands are in class one or class two; and in the case of land being in class one, the State, its political subdivisions, or any other public agency or instrumentality, as appropriate, shall indicate the nature of the present or ultimate use. The commission shall approve or modify the certifications by resolution. The commission may also reclassify lands by a majority vote, upon the request of the State, its political subdivisions, or any other public agency or instrumentality owning land in the district for such reclassification.
