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 70's
and 80'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.
