General Description of Collection

    On December 19, 2008, the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety 
Act (``Act'') became effective (Pub. L. 110-140). The Act applies to 
public pools and spas and 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 pursuant to section 
1404(b) of the Pool and Spa Safety Act (Drain Cover Standard).
    On August 5, 2011, the Commission published a final rule 
incorporating by reference ANSI/APSP-16 2011 as the successor standard, 
effective September 6, 2011. 76 FR 47436. 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 including a safety vacuum release system, suction-limiting 
vent system, gravity drainage system, automatic pump shut-off system or 
drain disablement. 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 2011 
and the Act.

--Whether the collection of information described above is necessary 
for the proper performance of the Commission's functions, including 
whether the information would have practical utility;
