The LSC and HCFC, which is revised periodically, is a publication of NFPA, which was founded in 1896 to promote the science and improve the methods of fire protection.

The Secretary has delegated to CMS the authority to grant waivers of LSC and HCFC provisions for all facilities participating in Medicare and Medicaid.
