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 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. ANSI/APSP-16 2017 will become effective November 24, 2020. 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 including 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 2011 (or, after November 24, 2020, its successor standard, ANSI/APSP-16 2017) and the Act.
