Abstract: To carry out its responsibilities under the Act, HUD has issued the Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards (the Standards), 24 CFR 3280. The Department has also issued the Manufactured Home Procedural and Enforcement Regulations (the Regulations), 24 CFR 3282, to enforce these standards. The Regulations incorporate an exemption from HUD regulation for recreational vehicles (RV) if they are: built on a single chassis; 400 square feet or less when measured at their largest horizontal projections; self-propelled or permanently towable by a light duty truck; and designed primarily not for use as a permanent dwelling but as temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, travel, or seasonal use. Through recent rulemaking, HUD is adopting a recommendation of the Manufactured Housing Consensus Committee (MHCC), a Federal Advisory Committee, and is clarifying the definition of recreational vehicle (RV) and modifying it to require certification with either the American National Standards Institute’s (ANSI) standard for Park Model Recreational Vehicles (PMRV), A119.5–15 or the National Fire Protection Association’s NFPA 1192, Standard on Recreational Vehicles, 2015 Edition. Since Park Model RVs built to ANSI A119.5-15 may exceed the RV exemption’s 400 square foot threshold, a manufacturer must post notice in the home that the structure is only designed for recreational purposes and is not designed as a primary residence or for permanent occupancy.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: This is a revision of a currently approved collection. The increased amount is because the industry has grown about 12% from 130 manufacturing facilities to 145 manufacturing facilities. It is estimated that the number of PMRV has increase by the same percentage. For this submission, HUD is identifying the burden hours resulting from the requirement for PMRV manufacturers that produce exempt products to provide specific consumer notifications. HUD has determined that this information collection burden does not fit within other information collections for the Manufactured Housing program. Therefore, this information collection is being submitted as a revision of a currently approved collection. This information collection: • Includes the PMRV manufacturers as respondents (25 PMRV manufacturers building to the A119.5–15 Standard). The increased amount is due to the fact that the manufactured housing industry has grown about 12% from 130 manufacturing facilities to 145 manufacturing facilities. It is estimated that the number of PMRV has increase by the same estimated percentage. Includes the burden hours associated with the time and cost for delivering a Manufacturer’s Notice to prospective consumers prior to the completion of the sales transaction and placing the same notice inside the exempted PMRV. This is estimated at approximately 20 seconds, and involves the time incurred in developing a template notice, using that template to create two copies for delivery and posting in affected PMRVs, as well as having a copy available for the dealer\seller to provide to the purchaser of the unit.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $1,681
