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.

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

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

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.
