Medicaid program; fire safety standards for ICFs/MR--HCFA. Proposed rule.
This proposed rule would amend the fire safety standards for intermediate care facilities for the mentally retarded (ICFs/MR). It would incorporate the 1985 edition of the Life Safety Code of the National Fire Protection Association. Current regulations incorporate the 1981 edition. The incorporation of the current edition of the Life Safety Code is intended to ensure that Medicaid providers and recipients have the benefit of the most current fire protection standards.
