Until the 17th edition, Chicago style was to spell out the noun in running text, but abbreviate the adjective as US. Now, we allow US as a noun, but only if the meaning is clear from context—that is, the usage is subject to editorial discretion.
Here is the basic format for a reference list entry of an annual report in Chicago style 17th edition: Author(s) of the report. Title of the report. Place of publication: Publisher, Year of publication.

General formatting Chicago doesn't require a specific font or font size, but recommends using something simple and readable (e.g., 12 pt. Times New Roman). Use margins of at least 1 inch on all sides of the page. The main text should be double-spaced, and each new paragraph should begin with a ½ inch indent.
In general, Chicago-style citations use either an author-date format or numbered notes and a bibliography. Here is an example of an author-date citation, as it would appear in the text of an essay citing a book: The primary cheeses used in Chicago-style pizza are mozzarella, Parmesan, and Romano (Bruno 1983, 4).
The usual arrangement for a reference list in Chicago style is a single sequence in alphabetical order by author, with the author's surname preceding the initials or given name.
