View Rule

This proposed rule would amend the definition of manufactured home to provide that only the first floor of a multistory transportable structure must be built on a permanent chassis. Under this proposed rule, the portion of the transportable section serving as the upper floor(s) would not need to be built on or transported on a permanent chassis. The proposed rule would provide that any transportable section of a manufactured home that does not include a permanent chassis must solely be utilized as part of multistory manufactured homes where the transportable section used for the ground floor is built on a permanent chassis. Units produced by this method would remain subject to all other provisions of the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards (24 CFR Part 3280) and Procedural and Enforcement Regulations (24 CFR Part 3282) in their entirety under the proposed rule.
