    Notice of these meetings is provided in accordance with the Federal

National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 
1974, 42 U.S.C. 5403(a)(3), as amended by the Manufactured Housing 
Improvement Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-569). According to 42 U.S.C. 5403, 
as amended, the purposes of the MHCC are to:
     Provide periodic recommendations to the Secretary to 
adopt, revise, and interpret the Federal manufactured housing 
construction and safety standards in accordance with this subsection;
     Provide periodic recommendations to the Secretary to 
adopt, revise, and interpret the procedural and enforcement 
regulations, including regulations specifying the permissible scope and 
conduct of monitoring in accordance with subsection (b);
     Be organized and carry out its business in a manner that 
guarantees a fair opportunity for the expression and consideration of 
various positions and for public participation.
    The MHCC is deemed an advisory committee not composed of Federal
