B. Estimated Burden The CPSC estimates the burden of the collection of information in CPSC Form 223 is as follows: ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN Number of respondents Activity Frequency of responses Total annual responses Hours per response Total hours 55 204 3 1 1 1 55 204 3 1 1 0.25 55 204 0.75 Total .............................................................................. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Initial Registration ................................................................ Re-Registration .................................................................... Changes in Information ........................................................ ........................ ........................ ........................ ........................ 259.75 These estimates are based on the following information: • From March 19, 2012 to March 19, 2013, 56 new third party conformity assessment bodies have registered with the CPSC. Since 2011, the number of third party conformity assessment bodies (53) has remained stable. Therefore, the estimated number of third party conformity assessment bodies who would register initially would be 55. • Under the final rule 16 CFR part 1112, third party conformity assessment bodies are required to resubmit CPSC Form 223 every two years. As all third party conformity assessment bodies have not submitted their first CPSC Form 223s at the same time, only some would be expected to resubmit a CPSC Form 223 in any one year. As of March 2013, 409 third party conformity assessment bodies have registered with CPSC. Approximately half (204) of these firms would be required to re-register with CPSC. • Under the final rule 16 CFR part 1112, third party conformity assessment bodies are required to keep the information submitted on CPSC Form 223 up to date and to submit a new CPSC Form 223 whenever the information changes. Based on current experience with third party conformity assessment bodies, CPSC staff estimates that third party conformity assessment bodies will make no more than 3 revisions per year to update their information. A change in information is a change which does not require review of laboratory accreditation documents, such as scope or test methods. Examples of revised information include changes in the Web site URL, name of the laboratory, and name of point of contact. The total burden, therefore, is 259.75 hours, which is rounded up to 260 hours. CPSC staff estimates that hourly compensation for the time required for recordkeeping is $27.12 per hour (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, ‘‘Employer Costs for Employee Compensation,’’ VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:11 Apr 18, 2013 Jkt 229001 Table 9, total compensation for sales, office, and related workers in goodsproducing industries: http:www.bls.gov/ ncs). The total cost burden to the respondents is approximately $7,052 ($27.12 × 260 hours = $7,051.20). C. Request for Comments The Commission solicits written comments from all interested persons about the proposed collection of information. The Commission specifically solicits information relevant to the following topics: • 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; • Whether the estimated burden of the proposed collection of information is accurate; • Whether the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected could be enhanced; and • Whether the burden imposed by the collection of information could be minimized by use of automated, electronic or other technological collection techniques, or other forms of information technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background

    On December 19, 2008, the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety 
Act (Pool and Spa Safety Act) became effective (Pub. L. 110-140). The 
Pool and Spa Safety 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 ANSI/APSP-16 2011 as the successor standard, effective 
September 6, 2011. In addition to 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 that meet the performance requirements 
of any ASME/ANSI or ASTM standard if such standard exists for such 
device or system; safety vacuum release system; suction-limiting vent 
system; gravity drainage system; automatic pump shut-off system or 
drain disablement. The Pool and Spa Safety Act is designed to prevent 
the tragic and hidden hazard of drain entrapment and eviscerations in 
public pools and spas.

B. Estimated Burden

    CPSC staff estimates that there may be approximately 97 inspections 
per year. CPSC staff estimates investigators will be talking to either 
the pool owners/operators or staff of the pool owners/operators at the 
time of the inspection. Investigators will be collecting drain cover 
and sump certification documents. It is estimated that 3 hours will be 
required to inspect a pool or spa facility. The total testing burden 
hours are 291 (97 inspections x 3 hours per inspection). We estimate 
that hourly compensation for the time required for testing is $61.06 
(U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, ``Employer Costs for Employee 
Compensation,'' December 2012, Table 9, total compensation for 
management, professional, and related workers in goods-producing 
industries: https://www.bls.gov/ncs). We estimate the annual cost to be 
$17,768 ($61.06 x 291).

C. Request for Comments

    The Commission solicits written comments from all interested 
persons about the proposed collection of information. The Commission 
specifically solicits information relevant to the following topics:
     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;
     Whether the estimated burden of the proposed collection of 
information is accurate;
     Whether the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected could be enhanced; and
     Whether the burden imposed by the collection of 
information could be minimized by use of automated, electronic or other 
technological collection techniques, or other forms of information 
technology.

    Dated: April 16, 2013.
