SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 17, 2022, CPSC published a notice
in the Federal Register announcing the agency's intent to seek an
extension for this information collection. 87 FR 50612. CPSC received
no comments in response to that notice. Accordingly, CPSC seeks to
renew the following currently approved collection of information:
Title: Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act Verification
of Compliance Form.
OMB Number: 3041-0142.
Type of Review: Renewal of collection.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Public pools and spa facilities.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 50 pools or facilities.
Estimated Time per Response: CPSC staff or the designated State or
local government official will take an estimated 3 hours to inspect a
pool or spa facility.
Total Estimated Annual Burden: The total testing burden hours are
150 (50 inspections x 3 hours per inspection). We estimate there will
be 50 inspections conducted throughout the fiscal year based on CPSC
plans for inspections, past compliance rates and trends, as well as
available staff resources. We estimate that hourly compensation for the
time required for inspecting is $64.02 (U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics, ``Employer Costs for Employee Compensation,'' March 2022,
Table 4, total compensation for management, professional, and related
workers in private service-producing industries: <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.t04.htm">https://www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.t04.htm</a>). The total annual cost of time to inspect
all facilities is estimated to be $9,603 ($64.02 x 150).
General Description of Collection
The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (Act), 15 U.S.C.
8001-8008, applies to public swimming pools and spas, and it requires
that each swimming pool and spa drain cover manufactured, distributed,
or entered into commerce in the United States shall conform to the
entrapment protection standards of the ASME/ANSI A112.19.8 performance
standard or any successor standard regulating such swimming pool or
drain cover under section 1404(b) of the Act.
On August 5, 2011, the CPSC published a final rule incorporating by
reference ANSI/APSP-16 2011 as the successor standard, effective
September 6, 2011. 76 FR 47436. On May 24, 2019, the CPSC published a
direct final rule incorporating by reference ANSI/APSP-16 2017 as the
next successor standard. 84 FR 24021. The Act requires that, in
addition to having the anti-entrapment devices or systems, each public
pool and spa in the United States with a single main drain other than
an unblockable drain shall be equipped with one or more of the
following devices or systems designed to prevent entrapment by pool or
spa drains: a safety vacuum release system, suction-limiting vent
system, gravity drainage system, automatic pump shut-off system or
drain disablement. The CPSC will collect information through the
verification of compliance form to identify drain covers, pools, and
spas that do not meet the performance requirements in ANSI/APSP-16 2017
and the Act. CPSC staff or the designated State or local government
official will take approximately 3 hours to inspect the pool and fill
out the checklist on the verification of
