The law became effective on December 19, 2008. The Act defines an ‘‘unblockable drain’’ as ‘‘a drain of any size and shape that a human body cannot sufficiently block to create a suction entrapment hazard.’’ Section 1403(7) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 8002(7)).

The Commission received comments in support of and in opposition to the staff guidance, in addition to some technical comments concerning the guidance itself. For example, some commenters pointed out that, in addition to the size requirements of the unblockable drain cover, the guidance should stress the importance of proper flow rates and the drain cover fastener integrity. CPSC agrees with these technical comments and intends to amend the guidance to include the following sentence: ‘‘In reaching this definition for an unblockable drain, the characterization of a suction fitting is taken from the standard to include the sump and cover as a unit, along with the following: (1) The blocking element dimensions and the diagonal measure to define a minimum size requirement (in excess of 18″ x 23″ or a diagonal measurement greater than 29″); (2) the need for the remaining open flow area of the cover, once shadowed, to provide sufficient flow to prevent entrapment; and (3) the general requirements of the standard for fasteners and fastening integrity (i.e., the cover must stay in place).’’ Parties who wish to attend the public meeting should be aware of this contemplated change to the guidance when preparing their presentations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa 
Safety Act (Pub. L. 110-140, 121 Stat. 1794 (``Act'')) was signed into 
law on December 19, 2007. The Act is designed to prevent drain 
entrapments and eviscerations in pools and spas. Public Law 110-140. 
The law became effective on December 19, 2008. The Act defines an 
``unblockable drain'' as ``a drain of any size and shape that a human 
body cannot sufficiently block to create a suction entrapment hazard.'' 
Section 1403(7) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 8002(7)).
    In August 2009, CPSC staff announced the availability of Draft 
Guidance on what constitutes an ``unblockable drain'' under the Act and 
asked for written comments concerning the draft guidance from 
interested persons (``July 2009 CPSC Staff Draft Technical Guidance on 
Unblockable Drains,'' https://www.poolsafety.gov/unblockable.pdf). The 
Commission received comments in support of and in opposition to the 
staff guidance, in addition to some technical comments concerning the 
guidance itself. For example, some commenters pointed out that, in 
addition to the size requirements of the unblockable drain cover, the 
guidance should stress the importance of proper flow rates and the 
drain cover fastener integrity. CPSC agrees with these technical 
comments and intends to amend the guidance to include the following 
sentence: ``In reaching this definition for an unblockable drain, the 
characterization of a suction fitting is taken from the standard to 
include the sump and cover as a unit, along with the following: (1) The 
blocking element dimensions and the diagonal measure to define a 
minimum size requirement (in excess of 18 x 23 or 
a diagonal measurement greater than 29); (2) the need for 
the remaining open flow area of the cover, once shadowed, to provide 
sufficient flow to prevent entrapment; and (3) the general requirements 
of the standard for fasteners and fastening integrity (i.e., the cover 
must stay in place).'' Parties who wish to attend the public meeting 
should be aware of this contemplated change to the guidance when 
preparing their presentations. The Commission, through this notice, is 
announcing a public hearing to hear further from interested parties on 
the staff draft guidance, and the Commission reserves the ability to 
ask questions of presenters at the public hearing.
    Persons who desire to make oral presentations at the hearing on 
November 4, 2009, should send an e-mail, call, or write Todd A. 
Stevenson, Office of the Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission, 
4330 East-West Highway, Bethesda, Maryland 20814, e-mail cpsc-os@cpsc.gov, telephone (301) 504-7923, facsimile (301) 504-0127 not
