Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act; Interpretation of Unblockable Drain
On October 11, 2011, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (``Commission'' or ``CPSC'') announced that it was revoking its interpretation of the term ``unblockable drain,'' as used in the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act, 15 U.S.C. 8001 et seq. (``VGBA''). The Commission set a compliance date of May 28, 2012, for those who installed VGBA-compliant drain covers on or before October 11, 2011, in reliance on the Commission's initial interpretation. The Commission sought written comments regarding the ability of those who had installed VGBA-compliant unblockable drain covers on or before October 11, 2011, in reliance on the Commission's initial interpretation, to come into compliance with the revocation by May 28, 2012. The Commission is extending the compliance date to May 23, 2013, for those who have installed VGBA-compliant unblockable drain covers on or before October 11, 2011, in reliance on the Commission's original interpretive rule.\1\
Requirements Pertaining to Third Party Conformity Assessment Bodies
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (``CPSC,'' ``Commission,'' or ``we'') is issuing a proposed rule that would establish the requirements pertaining to the third party conformity assessment bodies (or ``laboratories'') that are authorized to test children's products in support of the certification required by the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA), as amended by the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA). The proposed rule would establish the general requirements concerning third party conformity assessment bodies, such as the requirements and procedures for CPSC acceptance of the accreditation of a third party conformity assessment body, and it would address adverse actions against CPSC-accepted third party conformity assessment bodies. The proposed rule also would amend the audit requirements for third party conformity assessment bodies and would amend the Commission's regulation on inspections.

The final rule implements a section of the Consumer Product Safety Act (``CPSA''), as amended by the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (``CPSIA'').
