Correction

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing 
Commissioner, HUD.

ACTION: Final rule; technical correction.

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

SUMMARY: On November 30, 2005, HUD published a final rule amending the 
Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards (the 
Construction and Safety Standards). This document makes a number of 
technical corrections to the November 30, 2005, final rule.

DATES: Effective Date: The final rule effective date of May 30, 2006, 
and the incorporation by reference date of May 30, 2006, as approved by 
the Director of the Federal Register, continue to apply.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William W. Matchneer III, Associate 
Deputy Assistant Secretary, Office of Regulatory Affairs and 
Manufactured Housing, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 30, 2005 (70 FR 72024), HUD 
published a final rule to amend the Construction and Safety Standards. 
The final rule, at 24 CFR 3280.305 and 3280.504, included listings of 
counties subject to those sections. This document makes editorial 
corrections to those listings, for example, to include counties 
inadvertently omitted.
    Specifically, in the table of states and counties deemed to be 
within the Middle Roof Load Zone under Sec.  3280.305(c)(3)(i)(B), 
``Crawford'' is removed from the list of counties for Iowa and added to 
the list of counties for Michigan; ``St. Croix'' is removed from the 
list of counties for Minnesota and added to the list of counties for 
Wisconsin; ``Doon'' in the list of counties for Wisconsin is corrected 
to read ``Door;'' ``Mackinaw'' in the list of counties for Michigan is 
corrected to read ``Mackinac;'' and Coos, Grafton, Carroll, Chitten, 
Bellnap, Strafford, Merrimack, Sullivan, Rockingham, Hillsborough, and 
Chesire are deleted from the list of counties for New Hampshire and are 
replaced by the phrase, ``All Counties.''
    In addition, this document makes two conforming corrections in 
Sec.  3280.801 to references to the edition of the National Electrical 
Code adopted by the November 30, 2005, final rule.

Accordingly, FR Doc. 05-23387, Manufactured Home Construction and 
Safety Standards, (FR-4663-N-02), published in the Federal Register on 
November 30, 2005 (70 FR 72024), is corrected as follows:
