    The regulations in this part are issued under the authority of the 

Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974 (the Act), 15 U.S.C. 

2201 et seq. The Act establishes two classes of honorary awards for 

public safety officers and directs the issuance of the necessary joint 

regulations by the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency 

(FEMA) and the Attorney General. The functions of the Secretary of 

Commerce were transferred by Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1978 to the 

Director, FEMA. Since initial passage of the Act, civil defense 

functions which then were delegated to the Secretary of Defense have 

been delegated to the Director, FEMA. Section 15 of the Act has been 

amended to delete the Secretary of Defense from participating in the 

granting of awards. See Public Law 98-241, 98 Stat. 95, 96 (1984). The 

Director, FEMA, and the Attorney General are issuing this regulation to 

implement the statutory provisions for FEMA and the Department of 

Justice.
