LC-PCC PS for 6.29.1.32. RDA generally separates instructions for recording elements like preferred title or preferred name from those for creating an authorized access point.

I am having a hard time finding similar provisions in the LC/PCC PS or RDA, although LC and PCC seem to be using qualifiers with "Laws, etc." under RDA. For example, "Laws, etc. (Hyderabad state laws)" is in one of the PCC/SCT RDA record examples for law and legal materials at: http://www.loc.gov/catworkshop/RDA%20training%20materials/SCT%20RDA%20Records%20TG/ These are links to 3 more RDA records in LC's catalog with "Laws, etc." qualified: http://lccn.loc.gov/2013352356 http://lccn.loc.gov/2010217987 http://lccn.loc.gov/2010503873 The old guidelines were very detailed and included special provisions for session laws and compiled statutes of U.S. states. RDA 6.19.2.5.1 says to use "Laws, etc." for compilations of laws but does not mention qualifiers, and neither does the corresponding LC/PCC PS. Is this now covered somewhere else in RDA?
