\"Safety<\/p>\n

To prevent further injuries and deaths as a result of drain entrapment\u00a0in pools and spas, the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act requires that\u00a0all public pools and spas\u00a0be equipped with anti-entrapment drain covers<\/a>\u00a0that comply with the\u00a0ASME\/ANSI A112.19.8 standard.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the term “public accommodations\u00a0facility” used in the original law to describe who\u00a0must comply\u00a0was not adequately defined.\u00a0 Which types of\u00a0establishments\u00a0fall\u00a0into the category of\u00a0“public accommodations facility” and which do not?<\/p>\n

The answer to this question is the focus of a proposed interpretive rule that\u00a0the Consumer Product\u00a0Safety Commission (CPSC) would like to add to the existing Pool and Spa Safety Act.\u00a0 If the newly proposed definition for the term “public accommodations\u00a0facility” is accepted, the CPSC will be able to more effectively enforce the law and ensure that\u00a0more pools and spas are made safe for public\u00a0use.<\/p>\n

The CPSC will accept public comment on the proposed rule until December 21, 2010.\u00a0 To read more about the proposed rule and how to submit a comment, visit the following page: https:\/\/edocket.access.gpo.gov\/2010\/2010-26520.htm<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
