You can also browse the UL certifications site at UL.com for differant gypsum wall types/construction types for the various fire ratings.

Go to the US Gpysum Association website and download GYP-600, which is the fire resistive construction directory for all things gypsum. I would send you a link but I am in the airport and my laptop battery is about to die.
