Finding Not asserted
Not asserted: the record does not name the creating body; its local identifier places it in NARA record group 95 (Forest Service), a federal agency's records, which is evidence of federal origin but not proof of authorship, since agencies also filed acquired and captured footage.
The record does not name a federal creating body, or names one alongside a private producer, a state body or a government corporation. Such a film may well be a government work, but this registry only says so when the record does.
