the standard to test antennas for 

compliance with the standard, and to 

maintain records of that testing. 

The records of testing and other 

information required by the certification 

regulations allow the Commission to 

determine that antennas subject to the 

standard comply with its requirements. 

This information would also enable the 

Commission to obtain corrective actions 

if omnidirectional citizens band base 

station antennas failed to comply with 

the standard in a manner which creates 

a substantial risk of injury to the public.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and 

Spa Safety Act (‘‘Pool and Spa Safety 

Act’’) went into effect on December 19, 

2008 (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 Act (‘‘Drain 

Cover Standard’’). 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 is required to 

be equipped with 1 or more of the 

following devices and systems designed 

to prevent entrapment by pool or spa 

drains: safety vacuum release system; 

suction-limiting vent system; gravity 

drainage system; automatic pump shutoff 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. 

The CPSC staff will use a 

‘‘Verification of Compliance Form’’ to 

collect the information necessary to 

identify drain covers at pools and spas 

that do not meet the requirements of the 

ASME/ANSI A112.19.8 performance 

standard or any successor standard 

regulating such swimming pool or drain 

cover. CPSC investigators or designated 

state or local government officials will 

use the form which will be filled out 

entirely at the site during the normal 

course of the pool and spa inspection. 

Using the form, the inspectors will 

collect information regarding the pool or 

spa facility; identify the type, location 

and features of the pool or spa; describe 

the drain covers, anti-entrapment 

device/systems, sump or equalizer lines 

at the site; and report on whether any 

actions are necessary to bring the pool 

or spa into compliance. 

B. Estimated Burden 

The CPSC staff estimates that there 

may be approximately 97 inspections 

per year. Because the investigators will 

be talking to either the pool owner/ 

operator or pool staff at the time of the 

inspection and asking questions to help 

complete the form, the CPSC staff 

estimates that the burden hours for pool 

owners or pool staff to respond to the 

questions will be approximately 0.5 

hours per inspection. Thus, the 

estimated total annual burden hours for 

respondents are approximately 48.5 

hours (97 inspections × 0.5 hours per 

inspection). Although respondents may 

include either junior or senior pool staff, 

CPSC staff based the annualized cost to 

respondents based on the compensation 

for management-level employees, since 

such employees may be the most 

knowledgeable of the pool or spa used. 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 181 / Monday, September 21, 2009 / Notices 48065 

The CPSC staff estimates that the 

annualized cost to all respondents is 

approximately $2,300.84 based on an 

hourly wage of $47.44 per hour ($47.44 

× 48.5). (Bureau of Labor Statistics 

(‘‘BLS’’), December 2008, all workers, 

service, management, professional, and 

related). 

The CPSC staff estimates that it will 

take an average of 2.5 hours to review 

the information collected from the oral 

communications with pool owners/ 

operators or staff. The annual cost to the 

Federal government of the collection of 

information in these regulations is 

estimated to be $19,361.21. This is 

based on an average wage rate of $55.97 

(the equivalent of a GS–14 Step 5 

employee). This represents 70.1 percent 

of total compensation with an 

additional 29.9 percent coming from 

benefits (BLS, September 2008, 

percentage total benefits for all civilian 

management, professional, and related 

employees), or $79.84 × 242.5 hours. 

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: In the 

Federal Register of July 13, 2009 (74 FR 

33417), the Consumer Product Safety 

Commission published a notice in 

accordance with provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35) to announce the 

agency’s intention to seek extension of 

approval of the collection of information 

required in the Safety Standard for 

Walk-Behind Power Lawn Mowers (16 

CFR part 1205). One comment was 

received in support of the proposed 

collection of information in response to 

that notice. 

The Safety Standard for Walk-Behind 

Power Lawn Mowers establishes 

performance and labeling requirements 

for mowers to reduce unreasonable risks 

of injury resulting from accidental 

contact with the moving blades of 

mowers. Certification regulations 

implementing the standard require 

manufacturers, importers and private 

labelers of mowers subject to the 

standard to test mowers for compliance 

with the standard, and to maintain 

records of that testing. The records of 

testing and other information required 

by the certification regulations allow the 

Commission to determine that walkbehind power mowers subject to the 

standard comply with its requirements. 

This information also enables the 

Commission to obtain corrective actions 

if mowers fail to comply with the 

standard in a manner that creates a 

substantial risk of injury to the public.
