Finally, it will examine how the programs are serving vulnerable communities and at-risk populations. The research questions for this evaluation will be: 1. How do programs/members connect their work to climate change? 2. To what extent does the program include opportunities to increase equity? 3. To what extent is the program operating as intended? 4. What are some promising practices and some challenges in implementing the climate change grant programs? 5. What were the barriers and facilitators to meet the intended outcomes of the program? 6. What are the lessons learned that can inform the field or be useful for practitioners that work in this space? PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 50613 7.

How did the COVID–19 pandemic affect national service members? 14. What partner organizations are involved (e.g., community organizations, local agencies)? What are their roles in the program? 15. What is the breadth (number and type of partnership), quality, and quantity of the partnership(s) (number and frequency of joint activities and their strength)? 16. How were partnerships built and maintained? 17. How do grantee and sponsor organizations work with partners to build community resilience? 18. To what extent do the climate change grant programs: a. improve energy efficiency and increase the use of renewable energy sources? b. help communities prepare, respond, and recover from natural disasters and other climate change effects? c. preserve public lands and waterways and protect or restore biodiversity? d. increase community members’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors around climate change? e. build capacity of the community to be resilient? 19.

General Description of Collection

    The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (Act), 15 U.S.C. 
Ch. 106, 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. 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: 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 2017 
and the Act. CPSC staff or the designated State or local government 
official will take approximately 3 hours to inspect the pool and fill 
out the checklist on the verification of compliance form. The 2022 VGBA 
Form they will use is available for viewing at https://www.regulations.gov under docket number, CPSC-2009-0073, ``Supporting
