A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Manufactured Home Construction and 
Safety Standards Act Reporting Requirements.
    OMB Approval Number: 2502-0253.
    Type of Request: Revision.
    Form Number: None.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The 
Federal Standards and Procedural Regulations require manufactured home 
producers to place labels and notices in and on manufactured homes and 
mandate State and Private agencies participating in the Federal program 
to issue reports. Under revisions to the current reporting requirements 
and regulations, a streamlined procedure was added that will allow 
manufacturers, under certain circumstances, to complete construction of 
their homes on-site rather than in the factory without first having to 
obtain advance approval from HUD.
    In addition, some information collected assists both HUD and State 
Agencies in locating manufactured homes with defects, which then would 
create the need for notification and/or correction by the manufacturer.
    Respondents (i.e., affected public): Business or other for-profit.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 182.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 105,479.
    Frequency of Response: Monthly.
    Average Hours per Response: 1.5.
    Total Estimated Burdens: 147,515.

B. Solicitation of Public Comment

    This notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and 
affected parties concerning the collection of information described in 
Section A on the following:
    (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information;
    (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
    (4) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond: Including through the use of appropriate 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
    HUD encourages interested parties to submit comment in response to 
these questions.

     Authority: Section 3507 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
44 U.S.C. Chapter 35.

    Dated: September 20, 2017.
