The law encourages and eventually mandates that federal employees on travel must stay in public accommodations that adhere to the life safety requirements in the legislation guidelines. Similarly, federally sponsored or funded conferences cannot be held in hotels and motels that do not meet the law's fire protection provisions. The premise of the legislation is simple. Its underlying purpose is to give hotels and motels substantial economic incentive to install lifesaving smoke detectors and automatic sprinkler systems. A hotel or motel that complies with the fire safety guidelines of PL 101±391 will continue to be included in federal travel directories and have the opportunity to pursue government travel business. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provides the National Master List listing places of public accommodation which meet the fire prevention and control guidelines under PL 101±391. Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 148 / Friday, August 1, 1997 / Notice 41493 Inclusion on the List Acting under PL 101±391, the United States Fire Administration (USFA) has worked with each state to compile the National Master List of all the places of public accommodation affecting commerce located in each state that meet the requirements of the guidelines under the Act. FEMA published the National Master List in the Federal Register on November 24, 1992 and has published updates to the list monthly since then. The list is printed in its entirety annually. Parties wishing to be added to the National Master List, or to make any changes should contact the State office or official responsible for compiling listings of properties which comply with the Hotel and Motel Fire Safety Act. A list of State contacts is included in this publication.
