Title: Update to NFPA Standards, Incorporation by Reference 
Abstract:

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) amends its regulations incorporating by reference the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes and standards. These codes and standards are referenced in VA regulations concerning community residential care facilities, contract facilities for certain outpatient and residential services, Medical Foster Homes, and State home facilities. To ensure the continued safety of veterans in these facilities, VA would continue to rely upon NFPA codes and standards for VA approval of such facilities. This final rulemaking would update our regulations to adhere to more recent NFPA codes and standards.
