Dr. Google returns a ton including this: Compliance FAQs: Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) | NIST

Is that what you're looking for?

What I am actually seeking is a citation that I can use in a publication. Something along the lines of:

Environmental Systems Research Institute. Understanding Map Projections. Redlands, CA, Environmental Systems Research Institute, 2000.

The basic form for a book citation is: Last Name, First Name. Title of Book. City of Publication, Publisher, Publication Date.

I am uncertain that ESRI is the publisher, and of the date. Copyright is for 1994 - 2000, so should the publication date be 1994?

I was hopeful that someone had used a reference to this in a paper, and could share their citation for this.

I should provide a link to my source for the information that I have:

Link to publication: http://downloads2.esri.com/support/documentation/ao_/710Understanding_Map_Projections.pdf
