Richard,
It isn’t a template but I thought I’d point out what NACO Training, Module 8 (NACO Administration), slide 16, says about reporting duplicate authority records and BFM: http://www.loc.gov/catworkshop/courses/naco-RDA/Module%208-NACO%20Administration.pptx
Guidelines : After Independence
Duplicate/BFM Message
Identify which NAR to keep and which to delete and email that information to [log in to unmask]
– Include both the LCCNs and the 1XX of the NARs
– Include the LCCNs for the bibliographic records as well
I know many people only send LCCNs but I personally find it quite helpful if both the LCCN and the 1XX are included in the message. Often it means I only have to do a single search in our catalog to retrieve the affected records rather than multiple LCCN searches.
Other things I can suggest:
· Please do not use an OCLC ARN (authority record number) instead of the LCCN
· Please do not delete any internal spaces found in the LCCN
· Please do not insert hyphens into the LCCN
· Please do not delete any alphabetic prefixes found in the LCCN – just copy and paste whatever is in the 010 field
All of the above will help us process the requests as quickly as possible.
Thanks!
Manon

Richard,
I agree, NACO@LC wants the information to be clear but I have never seen an official template. Carl’s templates fit the bill. See the ones I use below, same idea.

Hello NACO at LC,
One of our catalogers has established the new NAR:

Richard,
I have never seen strictly prescribed formats for reporting BFM, etc., to LC. I use something like this
Hello NACO,
Just one new authority record:
no2015-100234
78-535227 75-585118
to report BFM. (I find it easier to proofread the numbers in the message when I insert the dashes.)
When reporting duplicate authority records, I do it this way:
Hello NACO,
Please delete no2004-699992 ; it duplicates no2004-700003
Please delete no97-32009 ; it duplicates no93-10724.
I think the main thing is for the information to be very clear. If the folks at LC prefer something different, I haven’t ‘gotten the message’.

Subject: Templates for NACO BFM reporting
Are there templates for reports to be submitted per https://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/naco/bfmguide.html ?
I gather that these are made according to a rather strict form.
