When an entry starts with a government agency as the author, begin the entry with the name of the government (e.g. United States), followed by a comma and the name of the agency. Between them, add any organizational units of which the agency is part (as, e.g., the House of Representatives is part of Congress). All the names are arranged from the largest entity to the smallest.
For the parenthetical citation, also list all of the administrative units in order from largest to smallest. Abbreviate commonly abbreviated words like Dept.
