FIELD DEFINITION AND SCOPE
Classification code for a geographic area associated with the 151 field in an
established heading record or 181 field in a subdivision record for a geographic
name.
This code can provide more precise geographic access than the codes contained in field
043 (Geographic Area Code). Each main geographic area code and any related subarea codes
associated with the heading are contained in a separate 052 field.
GUIDELINES FOR APPLYING CONTENT DESIGNATORS
■ INDICATORS
First Indicator - Code source Source of the code in subfield $a and information in the other
subfields.
# - Library of Congress Classification Code is derived from the Library of Congress Classification-Class G
and expanded Cutter number lists for place names. Cutter numbers for place
names in the United States are also published in Geographic Cutters.
The Library of Congress maintains the Library of Congress Classification,
Geographic Cutters, and the Cutter number lists.
1 - U.S. Dept. of Defense Classification
7 - Source specified in subfield $2 Classification number is taken from a classification system other than that
specified by one of the other defined indicator values and for which an
identifying source code is given in subfield $2.
Second Indicator - Undefined Contains a blank (#).
■ SUBFIELD CODES
$a - Geographic classification area code Four- to six-character numeric or alphanumeric code for the main geographic area
associated with the heading.
If the first indicator position contains value #, the code contains a four to
six-character numeric code that consists of the appropriate classification number
from the range G3190-G9980 derived from the Library of Congress
Classification-Class G by dropping the letter G. If the first indicator
contains value 7, a code from another list is used and that list is specified in
subfield $2.
Code is derived from the LC class G schedule by dropping the letter G.

$b - Geographic classification subarea code Alphanumeric code, assigned from expanded Cutter number lists, that represents a
subarea of the geographic area coded in subfield $a. Cutter numbers for
places in the U.S. are published in Geographic Cutters.
If the first indicator position contains value #, the code is derived from the
Library of Congress-Class G or the expanded Cutter number lists for
place names. The subfield may also contain a geopolitical subarea code from FIPS
10-4, or another code list as specified in subfield $2. Each geographic
subarea code is contained in a separate subfield $b. Subfield
$b may be repeated for subareas falling within a main area with the
same code.

CONTENT DESIGNATOR HISTORY
Indicator 1 - Code source
In 2000, the first indicator was given its present definition. Records created prior
to this change may contain a code # meaning undefined.0 - U.S. Dept. of Defense Classification [OBSOLETE, 2002]
First indicator value 0 (U.S. Dept. of Defense Classification) was made obsolete.
Value 1 was defined as U.S. Dept. of Defense Classification to replace it.
