ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974, as amended, is intended to protect the quality, safety, durability, and affordability of manufactured homes. In order to accomplish those objectives, the Act requires HUD to establish and implement manufactured home installation programs for States that choose not to operate their own installation programs. Among other things, HUD’s installation program for these States includes the training and licensing of manufactured home installers. HUD has recently begun providing the training that would qualify individuals to apply to obtain a manufactured home installation license. As a result, this notice advises that installers wishing to install manufactured homes in States where HUD administers their installation program that they will be required to apply for and obtain a HUD Installer’s License.

Background The National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5401–5426) (the Act) is intended, among other things, to PO 00000 Frm 00049 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 protect the quality, safety, durability, and affordability of manufactured homes. The Act was amended on December 27, 2000 (Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000, Title VI, Pub. L. 106–659, 114 Stat. 2997) to require that HUD establish and implement a Federal manufactured home installation program that includes installation standards, the training and licensing of manufactured home installers, and the inspection of the installation of manufactured homes. On October 19, 2007 (72 FR 59338), HUD began implementing these requirements with the publication of its Model Manufactured Home Installation Standards final rule. The Model Installation Standards, which are codified at 24 CFR part 3285, establish the minimum requirements for the initial installation of new manufactured homes. Under these standards, States that choose to operate an installation program for manufactured homes must implement installation standards that provide protection to its residents that equals or exceeds the protections provided by part 3285. The Model Manufactured Home Installation Standards are, however, one component of HUD’s efforts to implement the Act. The second component, HUD’s Manufactured Housing Installation Program, establishes requirements for training and licensing manufactured home installers. HUD published its Manufactured Housing Installation Program regulations, codified at 24 CFR part 3286, on June 20, 2008 (73 FR 35292). Together parts 3285 and 3286 establish requirements that implement Section 605 (42 U.S.C. 5404). Under Section 605, HUD is required to implement an installation program to enforce the Installation Standards in States that do not have installation programs approved by HUD. II. Installer Licensing in HUDAdministered States HUD’s Manufactured Home Installation program is designed to apply minimum standards to the installation of new manufactured homes and ensure that qualified persons install the homes properly. Manufactured homes that are properly installed provide safe and durable quality housing that can also be highly affordable, since proper installation can mean fewer repairs and longer homelives. Recognizing that the quality of the installation work on a manufactured home depends primarily on the installer, the training and licensure of individual installers is a central feature of HUD’s Manufactured Home E:\FR\FM\14OCN1.SGM 14OCN1
