Steps
Recognize VGB compliance itself (compliant drain covers plus any required secondary anti-entrapment system) is a continuous federal requirement, not primarily a one-time 'filing.'
Check whether the specific state or local health authority that issues the hotel's pool operating permit requires a written VGB self-certification/compliance statement as part of permit issuance or renewal — this is common but varies by jurisdiction.
Note that both CPSC and state attorneys general have authority to enforce VGB; day-to-day inspection and any compliance-statement paperwork is typically handled by the state/local health or building department that permits the pool, not filed directly with CPSC.
Keep manufacturer documentation for the drain cover(s) and any anti-entrapment system on file to support whatever compliance statement the local permitting authority requires.
Known gotchas
There is no single national 'VGB compliance statement' form filed with CPSC — the paperwork mechanism, if any, is set by the state or local permitting authority, so check that specific jurisdiction's pool-permit renewal requirements.
CPSC's enforcement authority includes the ability to shut down non-compliant pools/spas and pursue civil/criminal penalties — treating this as a paperwork-only formality carries real regulatory risk if the underlying hardware isn't actually compliant.
