FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Teressa Kaas, Fire Program Specialist,
FEMA/U.S. Fire Administration, (301)
447–1263 for additional information.
You may contact the Records
Management Division for copies of the
proposed collection of information at
facsimile number (202) 212–4701 or
email address: FEMA-InformationCollections-Management@fema.dhs.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Hotel
and Motel Fire Safety Act of 1990,
Public Law 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; the 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 National Master List. The Hotel
and Motel Fire Safety Act of 1990
further stipulates that Federal
employees on official travel stay in
properties approved by the authority
having jurisdiction (AHJ) and listed on
the current NML. For statutory reference
see Title 15 U.S.C. ¶¶ 2224–26.
Collection of Information
Title: Federal Hotel and Motel Fire
Safety Declaration Form.
Type of Information Collection:
Extension, without change, of a
currently approved information
collection.
OMB Number: 1660–0068.
Form Titles and Numbers: FEMA
Form 516–0–1, Federal Hotel and Motel
Fire Safety Declaration Form.
Abstract: Applicants complete and
submit the Hotel-Motel Declaration
Form online through the USFA Web site
(https://www.usfa.dhs.gov/applications/
hotel/) or they may request a paperbased version. Applications submitted
through the Web site are reviewed and,
if approved, the applicant will receive a
FEMA ID Number for their facility.
Online submission is the preferred
method selected by the majority
applicants. Paper-based forms returned
by traditional methods (USPS mail,
special delivery, or facsimile) receive
the same review process as those
submitted online. Lodging
establishments must meet a certain level
of life-safety from fire, as defined in
Public Law 101–391, to become eligible
for listing on the NML. Federal
employees use the NML to select
lodging while traveling on governmentrelated business, but the list is also
accessible to the general public.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; State, local or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 2,294.
