Safety Act; Draft Technical Guidance
on Unblockable Drains; Notice of
Hearing
AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety
Commission.
ACTION: Notice of public hearing.
SUMMARY: The Consumer Product Safety
Commission (Commission) will conduct
a public hearing to receive views from
all interested parties about the draft
guidance for industry entitled ‘‘July
2009 Staff Draft Technical Guidance on
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 220001
ADDRESSES:
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announced the availability of Draft
Guidance on what constitutes an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the draft guidance from interested
PO 00000

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 email, call, or write Todd A. Stevenson,
Office of the Secretary, Consumer
Product Safety Commission, 4330 EastWest Highway, Bethesda, Maryland
20814, e-mail cpsc-os@cpsc.gov,
telephone (301) 504–7923, facsimile
(301) 504–0127 not later than 5 p.m.
EST on October 28, 2009. Presentations
should be limited to approximately ten
minutes.
Persons desiring to make
presentations must submit the text of
their presentations to the Office of the
Secretary not later than 5 p.m. EST on
October 28, 2009. The Commission
reserves the right to impose further time
limitations on all presentations and
further restrictions to avoid duplication
of presentations. The hearing will begin
at 9 a.m. on November 4, 2009, and will
conclude the same day.
