Subject:        NEHRP Maps question

Hello all!

I picked up a group of 12 maps with a 1-inch paper band around them
with the title "NEHRP Maps 1991 Edition" printed on the band. One of
my team members located a bib. record in OCLC late last week for a
text that is likely the parent item for these maps, its OCLC#
25896521, "NEHRP recommended provisions for the development of
seismic regulations for new buildings" by the Building Seismic Safety
Council, with series titles for the "Earthquake hazards reduction
series, vol. 16, #65" and "FEMA vol. 222-223/January 1992."

I can easily construct a bib. record for what I have in hand, but it
would sure be brief and I would not feel too good about providing
information just on the maps without knowing for sure that these 12
maps really are attached to/a part of the above title or some other
publication. Unfortunately, we do not have (apparently, unless this
is simply uncataloged in our Gov Docs collection) the accompanying
work that the maps would function with. Each map has its own title
of, e.g., "Map for Coefficient Aa" (which is Map 1).

If folks could do some poking around and let me know that these maps
really do belong to the title I give above, or another title, I'd be grateful.

Sincerely,
