# 102-71.45 Responsible party for determining the acceptability of each equivalent level of safety analysis.

The head of the agency, responsible for physical improvements in the facility or providing Federal assistance, or a designated representative will determine the acceptability of each equivalent level of safety analysis. The determination of acceptability must include a review of the fire protection engineer's qualifications, the appropriateness of the fire scenarios for the facility, and the reasonableness of the assumed maximum probable loss. Agencies must maintain a record of each accepted equivalent level of safety analysis and provide copies to fire departments or other local authorities for use in developing pre-incident plans.
