AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing

ACTION: Notice of presentation of views in the matter of Summerset 
Homes, Inc. and David Leers.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: An Informal Presentation of Views pursuant to 24 CFR 
3282.152(f) will take place because the Secretary is contemplating 
injunctive action under section 612(a) of the National Manufactured 
Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act, 42 U.S.C. 5410(a), on 
the issue of whether Summerset Homes, Inc. and David Leers have 
manufactured park models and units made to mate with the park models 
and with manufactured homes that are manufactured and sold in violation 
of the Act, regulations, and standards.

DATES: An informal presentation of views pursuant to 24 CFR 3282.152(f) 
will commence at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, March 23, 1994, and, if additional 
time is needed, will continue on the next day commencing at 10 a.m., in 
room 10257, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 7th

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
G. Robert Fuller, Special Assistant to the Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Single Family Housing, room 9184, 451 7th Street, SW., Washington, 
DC 20410. Telephone: (202) 708-4549.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Secretary of Housing and Urban 
Development (Secretary) administers the National Manufactured Housing 
Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974, 42 U.S.C. 5401 et seq. 
(the Act) and its regulations, 24 CFR part 3282, and standards, 24 CFR 
part 3280. The Office of Manufactured Housing and Regulatory Functions 
has been conducting an investigation of Summerset Homes, Inc. and David 
Leers due to information received indicating that Summerset Homes, Inc. 
and David Leers may have built manufactured homes in violation of the 
Act, regulations and standards. The Department has received information 
and evidence indicating that Summerset Homes, Inc. and David Leers may 
have built park model and modular unit combinations which are actually 
manufactured homes but are not built in accordance with the Act and 
standards. In addition, the evidence indicates that Summerset Homes, 
Inc. and David Leers may have built manufactured homes mated with 
modular units which are integral to the manufactured homes but are not 
built in accordance with the Act and standards.

    The Secretary is now considering whether there have been violations 
of the Act, regulations, and standards such that this case should be 
referred for injunctive action and other relief. Prior to deciding to 
make this referral, the Secretary is providing Summerset Homes, Inc. 
and David Leers with the opportunity to present their views pursuant to 
section 612(a) of the Act and to present any evidence which they 
believe is relevant to the inquiry.
    The parties to this Presentation of Views are the Secretary, 
Summerset Homes, Inc. and David Leers. The Informal Presentation of 
Views will be held in accordance with the provisions of 24 CFR 
3282.152(f). Mr. G. Robert Fuller is hereby designated the presiding 
officer for the proceeding. All inquiries concerning this proceeding 
should be directed to Mr. Fuller. The Presentation of Views will 
commence at 3 p.m. on March 23, 1994, and, if additional time is 
needed, will continue on the next day commencing at 10 a.m., in room 
10257, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 7th Street, 
SW., Washington, DC 20410.
    In determining that the requirements of 24 CFR 3282.152 shall apply 
in this matter, the Secretary has considered the factors set forth at 
24 CFR 3282.152(c)(4).
    As provided for by 24 CFR 3282.153, interested persons may 
participate in writing in the Informal Presentation of Views, and the 
presiding officer shall, to the extent practicable, consider any such 
written materials. Interested persons may participate in the oral 
portion of the Informal Presentation of Views unless the presiding 
officer determines that participation should be limited or barred so as 
not to unduly prejudice the rights of the parties involved or 
unnecessarily delay the proceedings.

    Dated: March 7, 1994.
Nicolas P. Retsinas,
Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing Commissioner.
