If there is no imprint, then the cataloguer supplied the publisher; it
should be in brackets IMNSHO. While the document may have been
produced by one agency, it may have been published by a government
publications office; do you check the title page verso and colophon
for that information? Does one order it from the agency which produced
it, or from a central government document publishing agency?
As with much in RDA, interpretations will vary. I doubt any will do
264 1 for the producing agency, plus 264 2 or 3 for the distribution
or printing agency, but that would be an RDA possibility.
In this case, the cataloguer is assuming the producing agency is the
publisher, but doesn't *know* that.
