Chapter Scope
This chapter comprises general guidance that applies to all works for public laws in the Name Authority File.
Note on Past Practices
In the past, GPO has utilized a variety of practices in NARs for public laws. The instructions in this chapter supersede any differing past practices. Therefore, use caution in copying or deriving from existing records.
What to Establish in the Authority File
GPO Practice
- Establish public and private laws, known as slip laws, when cataloging these Congressional documents
- Establish public laws when needed for a subject or related work access point
Tips
- To browse the actual laws, go to the Public and Private Laws collection in GovInfo.
- To browse the NARs for laws in OCLC, browse LC Names & Subjects (authority file) in Titles for: public law [insert the number for the Congress that you wish to browse, e.g, 117]
This will put you into the browse index for public laws of the 117th Congress.
Authorized Access Points of Public Laws
- Apply 6.29.1.2
Preferred Titles of Public Laws
- Apply 6.19.2.5.2
- When cataloging a slip law, do not apply (b)
- At time of publication, no examples are available of GPO ever applying (d)
- This title will usually contain the word “act,” unless the law is a joint resolution
Citation Title vs. Formal Title
- See: Bibliographic Cataloging: Public and Private Laws: Public laws: “Public laws often have a citation (or short) title in addition to a formal title. The citation title is usually but not always found in Section I of a public law. Such titles will be identified by the phrase: This Act may be cited as the “…” (e.g. Public Law 113-3: An Act to Ensure the Complete and Timely Payment of the Obligations of the United States Government until May 19, 2013, and for Other Purposes. SECTION I. SHORT TITLE: This Act may be cited as the “No Budget, No Pay Act of 2013.”).
Laws Containing Citation Titles
- Record the citation title as the preferred title in the 110 ǂt
- If there are two or more short titles, connected by the word “or,” select the first as the preferred title in the 110 ǂt, and the second as a variant title in the 410 ǂt
- The citation title usually appears aside Section 1, in the column underneath the date

- Record the formal title as a variant title in the 410 ǂt
- For the 670:
- Citation title:
- apply DCM Z1: 670: Recording names and titles: “if a source being cited contains an official short title or citation title, cite that title, preceded by the term "citation title" and its exact location.” Record the citation title in ǂb.
- Formal title:
- Record the formal title in ǂa if it is the title proper, or in ǂb if it is not. If recorded in ǂa, do not repeat it in ǂb.
- Alternative (available, but rarely followed at GPO): for long titles that are the title proper, record part of the formal title in ǂa followed by ellipses. Record the full formal title in ǂb. Include enough of the title proper in ǂa to provide a unique citation.

- Formal title is not the title proper: no examples found at time of publication.
Capitalization
- Follow A.18: Names of Documents
- GPO Practice: Capitalize both the formal and citation (or short) titles wherever these occur in the NAR. (Since neither A.18 nor the RDA glossary defines “formal or conventional name,” GPO must interpret A.18.)

“Embedded” Laws
Embedded laws are sections (Titles, Subtitles, Divisions, etc.) of a law that are themselves laws. To be considered a law, it must have a citation, short, or formal title. This title will always contain the word “act.”
- Create or update NARs for embedded laws only in response to specific internal or external inquiries/requests. Otherwise, ignore them.
- Bibliographic cataloging: embedded laws are recorded in the bibliographic record for the comprehensive law, in a 500 “contains” field, and in an analytical 710 field containing the authorized access point for the embedded law.
See CGP 001063506
- See sections below: MARC: 110 and 410
- Multiple sections (Titles, Subtitles, Divisions, etc.):
- Part/section number:
- 410 $n: include all part/section numbers
- 670 $b: only the lowest part/section number needs to be justified
- Part/section title: record only the lowest title in fields 110 $t, 410 $p, and 670 $b; do not record titles of intermediate parts/sections
- Part/section number:

670 – Source Data Found
When cataloging a slip law and creating a Name Authority Record for that law, it is usually only necessary to include the one 670 for the resource cataloged. When not cataloging a slip law, it is usually helpful to consult and cite another source in addition to the resource cataloged. The instructions below refer to cataloging slip laws.
ǂa
- Transcribe the title proper of the resource cataloged, which will be the 245 field in the bibliographic record. Reminder: this title is taken from the title page, cover, or caption (in that order) according to RDA 2.2.2.2.
- Include enough of the title to provide a unique citation.
- Do not precede the title with “United States,” “Its,” or the name in the 1XX field of the bib record, unless the title by itself is not unique.
Title by itself is not unique:
670 United States. Veterans Employment Opportunities Act of 1998, 1998:
- If the title proper is the formal title:
- Record the formal title in ǂa. Do not repeat it in ǂb.
- Alternative (available, but rarely followed at GPO): for long titles that are the title proper, record part of the formal title in ǂa followed by ellipses. Record the full formal title in ǂb. Include enough of the title proper in ǂa to provide a unique citation.
- Follow the title proper with the year of publication.
ǂb
- Location: Use page numbers (Stat. numbers) in all cases, rather than caption, title page, or cover.
- Citing page numbers: Use the United States Statutes at Large designation found at the top of each page (e.g. 127 Stat. 51).
- Public Law number: Transcribe the Public Law number from any page.
- Citation title: Always transcribe the citation title in ǂb, even if it is also the title proper in ǂa.
- Follow instructions and examples in “Citation vs. Formal Title: Laws Containing Citation Titles”
- GPO Practice: if the citation title is on the same page as the formal title or other transcribed data, you may provide two separate locations, one for the Stat. number by itself, and one for the same number preceded by “citation title.”
670 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Business Travel Cards Act of 2017, 2017: ǂb 131 Stat. 1258 (Public Law 115-79; An Act to Permanently Authorize the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Business Travel Card Program) citation title, 131 Stat. 1258 (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Business Travel Cards Act of 2017) 131 Stat. 1260 (approved November 2, 2017)

Explanation: This method allows GPO to exactly follow the instruction and example in DCM Z1: 670: Recording names and titles -- cite the citation title “preceded by the term ‘citation title’ and its exact location.” In addition, this convenient method allows the citation title to appear by itself in parentheses and should not generate objections due to the minor issue of the Stat. number being repeated.
- Formal title:
- Transcribe in ǂb if not transcribed in ǂa or if transcribed in part in ǂa (for lengthy titles).
- If transcribed in full in ǂa, do not repeat in ǂb.
- Date: Transcribe the date from either of the following locations:
- The “approved” statement on the final line (excluding the legislative history) of the last page of the slip law. Example: 132 Stat. 1555 (approved July 24, 2018)
- The top of any page
- Aside the formal title, above a line containing the Senate (S.) or House (H.R.) bill number
