SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Notice of these meetings is provided in accordance with the Federal
Advisory Committee Act. 5 U.S.C. 1009(a)(2) through implementing
regulations at 41 CFR 102-3.150. The MHCC was established by the
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:
(1) Provide periodic recommendations to the Secretary to adopt,
revise, and interpret the Federal manufactured housing construction and
safety standards in accordance with this subsection;
(2) 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); and
(3) 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
employees.
Public Comment
Interested parties wishing to make comments on the business of the
MHCC are encouraged to register by or before Friday, June 20, 2025, by
contacting HUD's Administering Organization for the MHCC (AO), Home
Innovation Research Labs; Attention: Kevin Kauffman, 400 Prince Georges
Blvd., Upper Marlboro, MD 20774, or email to [email protected] or
call 1-888-602-4663. Written comments are encouraged. The MHCC strives
to accommodate citizen comments to the extent possible within the time
constraints of the meeting agenda. Advance registration is strongly
encouraged. The MHCC will provide an opportunity for public comments on
specific matters before the MHCC.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Office of
Manufactured Housing Programs, is providing an opportunity for the MHCC
to discuss appropriate standards and requirements for multi-story
manufactured homes that would not have upper floors built on a
permanent chassis. HUD is proposing to modify the standards related to
manufactured home chassis requirements within the Manufactured Housing
Construction and Safety Standards. HUD is scheduling this meeting with
the MHCC to allow robust discussion, analysis, and consideration as the
committee is responsible to provide recommendations to the Secretary
for the purposes of proceeding with changes to the standards. This
meeting is scheduled for one day to provide sufficient time for
thorough consideration. HUD, therefore, strongly encourages active
participation by committee members, stakeholders, and other interested
parties.
