This example of an established heading for a geographic name includes # as the first indicator value in all of the variable data fields.  008/06 is coded # because this heading cannot be subdivided geographically.  Authoritative reference sources are usually cited in 670 (Source Data Found) fields to justify the form of the name in field 151 and any 4XX/5XX tracing fields in geographic name heading records.
