SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 14, 2006 (71 FR 34476), HUD 
published its proposed rule that would establish a Federal manufactured 
home installation program. HUD is required to establish such a program 
in accordance with the National Manufactured Housing Construction and 
Safety Standards Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5401 et seq.), as amended by 
the Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000 (Title VI, Pub. L. 
106-659, enacted December 27, 2000). States that have their own 
installation programs that include the elements required by statute are 
permitted to administer under their own state installation programs the 
new requirements that would be established through this proposed and 
final rulemaking.
    The June 14, 2006, proposed rule provided for a 60-day public 
comment period. In response to significant public interest, HUD wants 
to provide additional time for interested parties to prepare and submit 
comments that HUD will consider in the development of the final rule; 
therefore, HUD is announcing through this notice that it is extending 
the public comment period on the June 14, 2006, proposed rule for an 
additional month. The new public comment deadline is September 14, 
2006.

    Dated: August 9, 2006.
Frank L. Davis,
General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Housing.
