seeking approval from OMB for the
information collection described in
Section A.
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Manufactured Home Construction and
Safety Standards Act Reporting.
OMB Approval Number: 2502–0253.
Type of Request: Revision.
Form Number: None.
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use: The
Federal Standards and Procedural
Regulations require manufactured home
producers to place labels and notices in
and on manufactured homes and
mandate State and Private agencies
participating in the Federal program to
issue reports. Under revisions to the
current reporting requirements and
Regulations, a streamlined procedure
has been added that will allow
manufacturers, under certain
circumstances, to complete construction
of their homes on-site rather than in the
factory without first having to obtain
advance approval from HUD. In
addition, some information collected
assists both HUD and State Agency’s in
locating manufactured homes with
defects, which then would create the
need for notification and/or correction
by the manufacturer.
Respondents (i.e. affected public):
Business or other for-profit.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
182.
Estimated Number of Responses:
105,479.
Frequency of Response: Monthly.
Average Hours per Response: 1.5.
Total Estimated Burdens: 147,515.
B. Solicitation of Public Comment
This notice is soliciting comments
from members of the public and affected
parties concerning the collection of
information described in Section A on
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:41 Jul 12, 2017
Jkt 241001
the following: (1) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) The accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (3)
Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) Ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond; including
through the use of appropriate
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
HUD encourages interested parties to
submit comment in response to these
questions.

coniferous wood (softwood lumber
products).1 The scope includes:
Coniferous wood, sawn, or chipped
lengthwise, sliced or peeled, whether or
not planed, whether or not sanded, or
whether or not finger-jointed, of an
actual thickness exceeding six
millimeters.
Coniferous wood siding, flooring, and
other coniferous wood (other than
moldings and dowel rods), including
strips and friezes for parquet flooring,
that is continuously shaped (including,
but not limited to, tongued, grooved,
rebated, chamfered, V-jointed, beaded,
molded, rounded) along any of its edges,
ends, or faces, whether or not planed,
whether or not sanded, or whether or

Coniferous drilled and notched

Coniferous lumber stacked on edge
and fastened together with nails,
whether or not with plywood sheathing.
Components or parts of semi-finished

Subject merchandise as described
above might be identified on entry
documentation as stringers, square cut
box-spring-frame components, fence
pickets, truss components, pallet
components, flooring, and door and

4421.91.97.80.
Although these HTSUS subheadings
are provided for convenience and
customs purposes, the written
description of the scope of these
investigations is dispositive.
The scope of the order excludes the
following items: U.S.-origin lumber
shipped to Canada for processing and
imported into the United States is
excluded from the scope of the
investigations if the processing
occurring in Canada is limited to one or
more of the following: (1) Kiln drying;
(2) planing to create smooth-to-size
board; or (3) sanding. Box-spring frame
kits are excluded if they contain the
following wooden pieces—two side
rails, two end (or top) rails and varying
numbers of slats. The side rails and the
end rails must be radius-cut at both
ends. The kits must be individually
packaged and must contain the exact
number of wooden components needed
to make a particular box spring frame,
with no further processing required.
None of the components exceeds 1″ in
actual thickness or 83″ in length.
Radius-cut box-spring-frame
components, not exceeding 1″ in actual
thickness or 83″ in length, ready for
assembly without further processing are
excluded. The radius cuts must be
present on both ends of the boards and
must be substantially cut so as to
completely round one corner.
Background.—The final phase of
these investigations is being scheduled
pursuant to sections 705(b) and 731(b)
of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C.
1671d(b) and 1673d(b)), as a result of
affirmative preliminary determinations
by the Department of Commerce that
certain benefits which constitute
subsidies within the meaning of section
703 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b) are
being provided to manufacturers,
producers, or exporters in Canada of
