SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department will submit the proposed
information collection to OMB for
review, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35, as amended).
I. Abstract
The Survey of Manufactured (Mobile)
Home Placements collects data on the
characteristics of newly manufactured
homes placed for residential use
including number, sales price, location,
and other selected characteristics. HUD
uses the statistics to respond to a
Congressional mandate in the Housing
and Community Development Act of
1980, 42 U.S.C. 5424 note, which
requires HUD to collect and report
manufactured home sales and price
information for the nation, census
regions, states, and selected
metropolitan areas and to monitor
whether new manufactured homes are
being placed on owned rather than
rented lots. HUD also used these data to
monitor total housing production and
its affordability. Furthermore, the
Survey of Manufactured (Mobile) Home
Placements serves as the basis for HUD’s
mandated indexing of loan limits.
Section 2145 (b) of the Housing and
Economic Recovery Act (HERA) of 2008
requires HUD to develop a method of
indexing to annually adjust Title I
manufactured home loan limits. This
index is based on manufactured housing
price data collected by this survey.
Section 2145 of the HERA of 2008 also
amends the maximum loan limits for
manufactured home loans insured
under Title I. HUD implemented the
revised loan limits, as shown below, for
all manufactured home loans for which
applications are received on or after
March 3, 2009.
Loan type
Purpose
Manufactured home improvement loan ...
For financing alterations, repairs and improvements upon or
in connection with existing manufactured homes.

which to place the home.

II. Method of Collection
IV. Request for Comments
The methodology for collecting
information on new manufactured
homes involves contacting a monthly
sample of new manufactured homes
shipped by manufacturers. The units are
sampled from lists obtained from the
Institute for Building Technology and
Safety. Dealers that take shipment of the
selected homes are mailed a survey form
for recording the status of the
manufactured home. Each successive
month, the dealer is contacted by
telephone and provides updated status
information about the home. Contact
continues until the selected home is
placed.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.

Title of Proposal: Rent Reform
Demonstration.
Description of the need for
information and proposed use: The
Department is conducting this study
under contract with MDRC and its
subcontractors (Branch Associates, The
Bronner Group, Decision Information
Resources, Quadel Consulting
Corporation, and the Urban Institute).
The project is a random controlled trial
of a new alternative rent system.
Families will be randomly assigned to
either participate in the new/alternative
rent system or to continue in the current
system. Outcomes of the alternative
system are hypothesized to be increases
in earnings, more accurate reporting of
earnings, and job retention. Random
assignment will limit the extent to
which selection bias drives observed
results. The demonstration will
document the progress of a group of
Voucher holders, who will be drawn
from both the current residents and new
enrollees. The intent is to gain an
understanding of the impact of the
alternative rent system on the families
as well as the administrative burden on
Public Housing Agencies (PHAs). PHAs
currently participating in the Moving to
Work (MtW) Demonstration are being
recruited to participate in this
demonstration.
Data collection will include the
families that are part of the treatment
and control groups, as well as PHA staff.
Data will be gathered through a variety
of methods including informational
interviews, direct observation, surveys,
and analysis of administrative records.
The work covered under this
information request is for interviews
and the baseline survey. Additional
work will be undertaken in subsequent
task orders and covered under a
separate information collection request.
