APA Citation Style does not have a separate category for government publications. According to APA, government documents can be considered Books, Technical/Research Reports or Brochures.
Helpful Tips:
Treat a government document as a book, report, or brochure.
If a person is named on the title page, use her or him as author.
If no person is named, use the government agency, department, or branch as a group author (Ex. 31, p.205).
Give the name of the group author exactly as it appears on the title page. If the branch or agency is not well known, include its higher department first.
If the group author is also the publisher, just use the word Author after the location (p. 203).
If there is a series or report number, include it after the title (p. 205).
The manual refers to the GPO (U.S. Gov. Printing Office). Canadian equivalents may be: Queen’s Printer, Ministry of Supply and Services, Canadian Government Publishing, etc.
