Abstract: We intend to search for new methanol maser lines in the 200-300 GHz frequency range toward W3(OH), NGC 7538-IRS1, and Cepheus A high mass Star Forming Regions (SFR) using the list of candidate lines published by Cragg, Sobolev, & Godfrey (2005). Making use of the observational properties of the new methanol maser lines, we intend to place constraints on parameters of the model of Sobolev & Deguchi (1994). This will in turn give us a better understanding of the Class II methanol maser pumping mechanism, physical characteristics of the region, and geometry of the maser source.
