Actually, it appears to depend on whose Authority record you're looking at. The Canadians, Australians, and Israelis have it as a CorporateName (110), as do the French (210 - unimarc); LC and the Germans say it's a Geographic Name.
In the case of LCSH, therefore, it would be a 151. Regardless, it is in VIAF.
