The Department will propose MIP changes for multifamily mortgage insurance programs and provide a 30-day public comment period for the purpose of accepting comments on whether the proposed changes are appropriate. This notice announces that the FY 2016 MIPs are the same the FY 2015 MIPs, published in the Federal Register on March 31, 2014 (79 FR 18049).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in section A. 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). The Manufactured Housing Survey collects data on new manufactured homes that are sold or leased for residential use. The survey tracks a sample of manufactured homes (units) shipped to dealers and the sales price and characteristics of the sampled units. Beginning in fiscal year 2015, dealers are contacted once to obtain sales price and characteristics of the unit. If the unit has been placed by the time Census contacts the dealer, additional placement data are collected. Other selected housing characteristics collected include size, location, and titling. 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 uses these data to monitor total housing production and its affordability. Furthermore, the Manufactured Housing Survey 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. MANUFACTURED HOME UNIT(S) ........... LOT LOAN .................................................. For financing alterations, repairs and improvements upon or in connection with existing manufactured homes. To purchase or refinance a Manufactured Home unit(s) ............. To purchase and develop a lot on which to place a manufactured home unit. To purchase or refinance a manufactured home and lot on which to place the home. COMBINATION LOAN FOR LOT AND HOME. Method of Collection: 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 four months after shipment for recording the status of the manufactured home. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES A.
