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]
Example:

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
Example:

010  no2009101445

1101 United States. ǂt Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009

4101 United States. ǂt Credit CARD Act of 2009

4101 United States. ǂt Act to Amend the Truth in Lending Act to Establish Fair and Transparent Practices Relating to the Extension of Credit under an Open End Consumer Credit Plan, and for Other Purposes

4101 United States. ǂt Public Law 111-24

670  Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009, 2009: ǂb 123 Stat. 1734 (An Act to Amend the Truth in Lending Act to Establish Fair and Transparent Practices Relating to the Extension of Credit under an Open End Consumer Credit Plan, and for Other Purposes; Public Law 111-24; May 22, 2009) citation title, 123 Stat. 1734 (Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 or the Credit CARD Act of 2009

  • 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. 
Example:
  1. Formal title in 670 ǂa:

    010  no2021054826

Laws Not Containing Citation Titles

  • Record the formal title as the preferred title in the 110 ǂt
  • For the 670:
    • 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.
Example:
  1. Formal title is the title proper:

    010  no2021043887

    046  ǂk 2021-01-05 ǂ2 edtf

    1101 United States. ǂt Act to Amend the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act to Require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to Consider Certain Recognized Security Practices of Covered Entities and Business Associates when Making Certain Determinations, and for Other Purposes

    380  Statutes and codes ǂ2 lcgft

    4101 United States. ǂt Public Law 116-321

    670  An Act to Amend the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act to Require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to Consider Certain Recognized Security Practices of Covered Entities and Business Associates when Making Certain Determinations, and for Other Purposes, 2021: ǂb 134 Stat. 5073 (Public Law 116-321; approved January 5, 2021)

  2. 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.)
Example:

010  no2021041001

046  ǂk 2021-03-23 ǂ2 edtf

1101 United States. ǂt Act to Make a Technical Correction to the ALS Disability Insurance Access Act of 2019

“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.”

Example:

  • 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.
Example:

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

MARC Fields

046 – Special Coded Dates

  • Record the date that the law was passed or “approved” in ǂk
Example:

046  ǂk 2021-03-24 ǂ2 edtf

670 … ǂb …135 Stat. 248 (approved March 24, 2021)

 

110 – Heading-Corporate Name

  • Follow 6.29.1.2 and: 6.19.2.5.2
  • For public laws of the United States, record “United States” in ǂa
  • Conflict: Conflicts are rare
    • Follow 6.29.1.29. GPO Practice: Only add dates when there is a conflict.
    • GPO Practice: If adding the year of promulgation still results in a conflict, add the month and date in the same form as these are added to titles for treaties, per 6.20.3.3 and 6.29.1.30.1.
Example:

(Hypothetical)

1101 United States. ǂt Joint Resolution Making Further Continuing Appropriations for the Fiscal Year 2015, and for Other Purposes (2014 December 16)

  • Consult Citation Title vs. Formal Title
  • Laws Containing Citation Titles:
  • Laws Not Containing Citation Titles:
  • Embedded Laws (see “Embedded” Laws above):
    • Apply all the instructions above
    • Apply 6.27.2.2. Ignore the title of the overall law; do not include it as a comprehensive title
    • Do not include part/section numbers ($n)

380 – Form of Work

  • GPO Practice: Use: Statutes and codes ǂ2 lcgft

 

410 - See From Tracing-Corporate Name

  • Consult 6.29.3.1 and: 6.19.3.5
  • For public laws of the United States, record “United States” in ǂa
  • Conflict:
    • If the variant access point conflicts with an existing access point, add a date qualifier to the variant access point only, according to the instructions under “Conflict” in 110 – Heading-Corporate Name. Follow the 6.29.3.2 examples of breaking conflicts between variant access points (410 fields).
  • Public Law number: always include a variant for the Public Law number.
    Example:

    4101 United States. ǂt Public Law 117-4

    • Consult Citation Title vs. Formal Title
    • Laws Containing Citation Titles:
      • Record the formal title in ǂt
      • Record 410s for any other titles found in the resource cataloged, including citation titles not chosen for the preferred title
      • Follow instructions and examples in “Citation vs. Formal Title: Laws Containing Citation Titles”
Example:

010  no2021041014

046  ǂk 2021-03-24 ǂ2 edtf

  • Laws Not Containing Citation Titles:
  • Embedded Laws (see “Embedded” Laws above):
    • Apply all the instructions above, unless superseded by an instruction below.
    • GPO Practices:
      • Include a minimum of two 410 fields:
        • Public Law number:
          • Follow the Public Law number of the comprehensive law with the Title, Subtitle, Division, etc. of the embedded law, in a single subfield ǂn, separated (if multiple sections) by commas. (GPO follows precedent rather than the $n section of MARC 21: X10 - Corporate Names-General Information.)
          • ǂn: record the numerals as they appear on the source per 6.2.1.5
Example:

4101 United States. ǂt Public Law 115-91. ǂn Title XII, Subtitle E

4101 United States. ǂt Public Law 115-91. ǂn Title XVIII

4101 United States. ǂt Public Law 112-10. ǂn Division C

  • GPO is discontinuing the former practice of following ǂn (the part/section number) with ǂp (the part/section title).
  • Exception: if the title of the section (Title, Subtitle, Division, etc.) of the embedded law is different from the citation, short, or formal title of the embedded law, add that section title in subfield ǂp following ǂn.
Example:

  • Comprehensive plus part title:
    • Apply 6.27.4.3. Record the title of the comprehensive law (which corresponds with the Public Law number) followed by the title of the embedded law (which corresponds with the lowest Title, Subtitle, Division, etc.)
Example:

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.
Example:

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.”
Example:

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)

670  An Act to Amend Title 5, United States Code, to Designate Juneteenth National Independence Day as a Legal Public Holiday, 2021: ǂb 135 Stat. 287 (Public Law 117-17; An Act to Amend Title 5, United States Code, to Designate Juneteenth National Independence Day as a Legal Public Holiday; Approved June 17, 2021) citation title, 135 Stat. 287 (Juneteenth National Independence Day Act)

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
