SEISMIC: Seismic Factors for Qatar

Folks:

Are there any published seismic factors in accordance with the latest NEHRP / IBC / ASCE 7 procedures for the country of Qatar in the Middle East?

We have an O-L-D project specification that indicates "use UBC '97 Zone 1," but I wasn't even aware there WAS a Zone 1 for UBC '97.

Thanks.
