Daniel,

Perhaps a clarification from Ana would be helpful, as I had
interpreted her message differently.

It was my understanding that this message related to notifying LC of
BFM needed on its records.  Specifically, it is not necessary to
provide LC with a listing of its bib. record numbers containing the
heading to be revised; only a general notification that BFM is
required on one or more LC bib. records is necessary.

I thought this message was unrelated to the NAR 670 "LC in OCLC"
citation practice (hinted at in the last quoted sentence above).

But now I am not so sure.
