I know that for some languages there are more or less official bodies that exist to determine matters of terminology, but I don't think I have ever seen a reference grammar of any language that bore a government imprimatur.  

*Textbooks* would have one - I found a couple on the single shelf of 
books on Russian in my office. The one that comes closest to a normative 
grammar might be F.K. Guzhva, Sovremmenyj russkij literaturnyj jazyk 
(slovoobrazovanie, morfologija), Kiev 1967 and approved by the Education 
Ministry of the UkrSSR. Similarly, Norwegian textboooks carried an 
imprimatur by the ministry from 1889 to 2001 (perestrojka came late here).
