After a very fast check on http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc-index.html ; I find this:

RFC 1366 Guidelines for Management of IP Address Space

and subsequent RFC that obsolete one another

I would look into RFC6890, which lists the "Special Purpose Addresses". Everything not on that list can be considered public addresses.

I dont think there is any RFC mentioning about the public allocation. 

 

Below IANA will give a gist about the alocation,
