Comment from David Stingl

Office of the Secretary CPSC Room 502 4330 East West Hwy Bethesda, MD 20814 RE: CPSC-2010-0018 Sirs, I have to disagree with the legal analysis presented. I see no way of interpreting the language found in other acts, prior art, to exclude residential rental properties unless the proprietor is a full time resident. Investment beach front rental homes are exactly the types of properties we are trying to protect. The renters, might not own a pool at their primary residence and thus be unaware of hazards associated with swimming pools. "Under this definition, pools or spas found at bed and breakfasts with five or fewer rooms for rent or hire and that are actually occupied by the proprietor would not be considered ``public pools or spas'' under the VGB Act, nor would pools or spas that are located on single family home rental properties." I concur with the final definition as submitted below. Sec. 1450.2 Definitions. (a) Public accommodations facility means an inn, hotel, motel, or other place of lodging, except for an establishment located within a building that contains not more than five rooms for rent or hire and that is actually occupied by the proprietor of such establishment as the residence of such proprietor. (b) [Reserved.] Thank you for considering my comment, David Stingl
