This appears to be true for the database PURL in OCLC record #50262932
as well. It now points to archived pages in http://webharvest.gov/ but
there's no data there. This affects some 131 holding libraries.

The Atlas PDF files from http://purl.access.gpo.gov/GPO/LPS20798 were
archived but the Database PURL http://purl.access.gpo.gov/GPO/LPS19148
should be deactivated if there's no content. I will report this problem
to Federal Depository Program Staff at GPO and see if access to the data
can be restored.
