4xx references: Corporate Names: References from jurisdiction for government bodies

If a government body is entered independently, make a reference from its name as a subheading of the government (jurisdiction) that created or controls it. (If the jurisdiction is not in the NAF, establish it in a separate authority record, tagged 151.) If the body's name includes the name or abbreviation of the jurisdiction, omit the jurisdiction from the subheading unless such an omission would result in an objectionable distortion.

Do not do special searching to determine whether a body is created or controlled by a government. In uncertain cases, use judgment in deciding whether or not to make the reference. Generally the reference is not made if there is no evidence that a name represents a government body. (See RI 24.4C for the definition of government body.)
