SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Hotel 

and Motel Fire Safety Act of 1990 (Pub. 

L. 101–391) requires FEMA to establish 

and maintain a list of hotels, motels, 

and similar places of public 

accommodation meeting minimum 

requirements for protection of life from 

fire. This list is known as the National 

Master List (NML). This law resulted 

from a series of deadly fires in hotels 

and motels, occurring in the late 1970’s 

and 1980’s, with high loss of life. The 

legislative intent of this public law is to 

provide all travelers the assurance of 

fire-safety in accommodations identified 

on the NML. Public Law 101–391 

further stipulates that Federal 

employees on official travel stay in 

properties approved by the authority 

having jurisdiction and listed on the 

current NML. For statutory reference see 

15 U.S.C. 2224–26.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Requests for additional information or 

copies of the information collection 

should be made to Director, Information 

Management Division, 500 C Street SW, 

Washington, DC 20472, email address 

FEMA-Information-CollectionsManagement@fema.dhs.gov or Travis 

Battiest, Section Chief for Tools, SOPS, 

and Implementation, Hazard Mitigation 

Assistance Division, Mitigation 

Directorate, FEMA, at (202) 714–8052 or 

travis.battiest@fema.dhs.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA 

regulations in 44 CFR 206.437 require 

development and updates to the 

Administrative Plan by Applicants or 

Recipients as a condition of receiving 

Hazard Mitigation Grant Program 

(HMGP) funding under Section 404 of 

the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief 

and Emergency Assistance Act of 1988 

(Pub. L. 93–288, as amended) (42 U.S.C. 

5170c). Applicants or Recipients can be 

any State of the United States, the 

District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the 

Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, 

the Commonwealth of the Northern 

Mariana Islands, or the government of a 

Federally-recognized Tribe that chooses 

to act as an Applicant or Recipient. 

The regulation at 44 CFR 206.437 

requires a State to have a FEMAapproved Administrative Plan to receive 

HMGP funding. At its minimum, the 

Administrative Plan will include the 

designated State agency or Indian Tribal 

government that will act as the 

Recipient, identify the State Hazard 

Mitigation Officer or Tribal Hazard 

Mitigation Officer, identify staffing 

requirements, and establish a guide for 

implementation activities and 

procedures to account for non-Federal 

cost sharing. Additional information 

requirements are guided by the type of 

mitigation activities being pursued. 

The State, territorial, or Tribal 

government must establish procedures 

to guide the administration of the 

HMGP in the Administrative Plan, as 

outlined in the listed activities below.

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 238 / Wednesday, December 11, 2024 / Notices 99891 

FEMA will review the information 

provided to ensure proper 

documentation of each activity. 

The Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS) adopted in its entirety 

the Uniform Administrative 

Requirements, Cost Principles, and 

Audit Requirements for Federal Awards 

(2 CFR part 200) on December 26, 2014. 

This rule eliminates overlapping and 

duplicative requirements for 

stakeholders, including States, 

territories and Indian Tribal 

governments, by using general terms 

such as ‘‘recipient’’ or ‘‘pass-through 

entity.’’ FEMA is also avoiding 

unnecessary duplication, overlap and 

the demand for maintenance of 

requirements under HMGP in two 

documents, the State Administrative 

Plan, and the Tribal Administrative 

Plan. FEMA instead is offering and 

referring to one common set of 

requirements in an ‘‘Administrative 

Plan.’’ The term ‘‘State Administrative 

Plan’’ is now referred to 

‘‘Administrative Plan for the Hazard 

Mitigation Grant Program.’’ 

This proposed information collection 

previously published in the Federal 

Register on August 19, 2024, at 89 FR 

67101 with a 60-day public comment 

period. Three public comments were 

received. Two of the comments discuss 

policy concerns with the HMGP and are 

not germane to this information 

collection. The third public comment is 

a statement of support from a private 

non-profit organization and FEMA 

thanks them for their comment. 

The purpose of this notice is to notify 

the public that FEMA will submit the 

information collection abstracted below 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

for review and clearance.
