The applicable regulation prefers the cite FCC 2d to the one we have as listed as cannonical. See 47 CFR § 1.14. The Solicitor General also uses the form without periods. See e.g. U.S. Br., FCC v. Prometheus Radio Project, No. 19-1231 (U.S. 2020). I made this preferred form a variation for now, but would it break things to make it the canonical form?

I think the usual ground truth we look at is the Blue Book (or Indigo Book). Do you know what it says?

The Indigo Book (T2) uses the current canonical form (F.C.C.2d) so we can keep the agency’s preferred form as a variation.
