SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is

A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Manufactured Home Construction and 
Safety Standards Program.
    OMB Approval Number: 2502-0233.
    OMB Expiration Date: November 30, 2022.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Form Numbers: HUD-101, HUD-203, HUD-203B, HUD-301, HUD-302, HUD-
303, HUD-304.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: This 
information collection is used in conjunction with certification 
labels, which are 2-inch x 4-inch metal tags permanently attached to 
each section of manufactured homes to provide a unique identifying 
number to each section of home produced under 24 CFR chapter XX part 
3280, the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards 
(Standards). Manufacturers are required to affix labels to all 
manufactured homes to be sold or leased in the United States, to 
certify compliance with the Standards in accordance with 24 CFR 
3280.11, 24 CFR 3282.204, and 24 CFR 3282.205.
    Respondents are both approved Production Inspection Primary 
Inspections Agencies (IPIAs) as described in 24 CFR 3282.362, and 
manufacturers, as defined in 24 CFR 3282.7. HUD issues certification 
labels to IPIAs and those certification labels are re-distributed to 
manufacturers in accordance with the rules. Manufacturers pay the fee 
designated in 24 CFR 3284.5. The information collection is necessary to 
ensure label control, production levels, and provide certification 
label association to allow the Department to identify a manufactured 
home after it leaves the plant and to ensure that the certification 
label fee has been paid. The information will also facilitate any 
recall or safety-related defect campaigns and provide the data that is 
needed to pay required fees or credits for program participants in the 
various states where such homes are manufactured and located.
    HUD has updated the number of respondents based on current industry 
characteristics. The number of manufacturing plants has increased and 
the number of burden hours per response on the HUD-302 Monthly 
Production Report has been increased to one hour. Form HUD-203B has 
been revised to include a field for ``Explanation of Damage/Repair.'' 
The forms have also been updated to include more precise burden 
statements.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit; State, Local or Tribal 
Government.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 151.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 5,153.
    Frequency of Response: Monthly.
    Average Hours per Response: 1.0 burden hour for HUD-302; 0.5 burden 
hours for all other forms included with this information collection.
    Total Estimated Burden: 3,410 hours.

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.
