From the 2008 National Electric Code (sorry, don't have the very latest version handy, so, take this w/ grain of salt):

The flexible cord shall include an equipment grounding conduc- tor sized in accordance with 250.122 and shall terminate in a grounding-type attachment plug.
...
B. GFCI Protection.
