language is known and publications with the official language form are likely to be
received. Take the name from a reliable reference source when the name in the official
language does not appear in the body's publications. If the form in the official
language is not available from a reliable reference source, use the form that is
available and mark the heading "provisional." Change the heading when the official
language form becomes known. If the official language is not known, or there is doubt
about the official language, or it's unlikely that a publication with the official
language form will ever be received, use the form appearing on the body's publications.
Do not mark the heading "provisional."
24.3E:CSB45
Governments
When it is known that a name or phrase represents a body exercising all the
powers (or group of powers) of the government, apply the first sentence of footnote 9 and
establish only the heading for the government.

Government

If this fact cannot be known or confidently assumed,
1) establish the name as one of the agencies of the government if the name
sounds like an agency name of that government
2) establish only the heading for the government if the name does not sound
like an agency name of the government.
24.3G:CSB21
Local churches, etc.
Ecclesiastical Parishes
If an ecclesiastical parish consists of a single church, do not establish a
heading for the parish. Instead, use the heading for the church. Treat the name of the
parish as a variant form of the name of the church.
Christ Church (Fitchburg, Mass.)
x Parish of Christ Church (Fitchburg, Mass.)
If an ecclesiastical parish consists of two or more churches and/or chapels,
apply the following:
1) If the parish and one of the churches have a name in common, use
the heading for the church (as in the first paragraph above).
2) If the name of the parish is different from the name of any of
the churches, establish a separate heading for the parish. Treat the heading for the
parish according to the rules for local churches (e.g., 24.3G, 24.10).
