Site-Specific Seismic Design Ground Motions as per ASCE 7-16 and ASCE 7-22

Hi all, I'm curious if others have stumbled on this change in ASCE 7-22: I am reviewing ASCE 7-22, Figure 30.3-3, Components and Cladding: external pressure coefficients, for enclosed, partially enclosed, and partially open buildings, stepped roofs

Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures, ASCE/SEI 7-22 provides the most up-to-date and coordinated loading provisions for general structural design
He offers the following response: 1- the 5 to 8 psf change in rain on snow is because of the change in load factor in ASCE 7-22. The adoption of reliability-targeted design ground snow loads in 7-22 represents a significant change from ASCE 7-16 and prior editions, which previously used ground snow loads with a 50-year mean recurrence interval (MRI)

There may be a better place to post this comment/QA but I had some difficulty finding an appropriate channel to start the discussion. ASCE 7-22 (and ASCE 7-16) Chapter 30 - Components and Cladding - Section 30.9, addresses the wind forces on building canopies
ASCE7-05 the equation 6-16 shows as 22,800Aog there is comma between 22 and 8 however the same in ASCE7-10 equation 26.11-1 there is dot between 22 and 8
