The work meets one of the following criteria:

It is an anonymous, pseudonymous or posthumous work and 50 years have passed since the date of its publication
It is a photographic work, and 25 years have passed since the date of its publication
It is another kind of work, and 50 years have passed since the year of death of the author (or last-surviving author)
It is an "official act of authority" and ineligible for copyright protection; however "literary, artistic, or scientific publications produced by the authorities" are copyrighted by the government

This work is ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain because it consists entirely of information that is common property and contains no original authorship.
