Abstract
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will submit the information collection abstracted below to the Office of Management and Budget for review and clearance in accordance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. FEMA, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public to take this opportunity to comment on an extension without change of a currently approved information collection. This notice seeks comments concerning a list of hotels, motels, and similar places of public accommodations meeting minimum fire-safety requirements. The information collected is voluntary and if approved for listing, the lodging establishment may be used by Federal employees on government related travel and for Federal agency conferences. As the list is open to use by the public, non-government travelers may use the list to identify lodging meeting minimum life- safety criteria from fire.

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. The Act 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.
This proposed information collection previously published in the
Federal Register on July 22, 2021, at 86 FR 38733 with a 60-day public
comment period. No comments were received. 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.
