SUMMARY:
Background
Notice of these meetings is provided
in accordance with the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App.
10(a)(2) through implementing
regulations at 41 CFR 102–3.150. The
MHCC was established by the National
Manufactured Housing Construction
and Safety Standards Act of 1974, 42
U.S.C. 5403(a)(3), as amended by the
Manufactured Housing Improvement
Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106–569).
According to 42 U.S.C. 5403, as
amended, the purposes of the MHCC are
to:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:54 Sep 20, 2022
Jkt 256001
• Provide periodic recommendations
to the Secretary to adopt, revise, and
interpret the Federal manufactured
housing construction and safety
standards in accordance with this
section;
• Provide periodic recommendations
to the Secretary to adopt, revise, and
interpret the procedural and
enforcement regulations, including
regulations specifying the permissible
scope and conduct of monitoring in
accordance with subsection (b);
• Be organized and carry out its
business in a manner that guarantees a
fair opportunity for the expression and
consideration of various positions and
for public participation.
The MHCC is deemed an advisory
committee not composed of Federal
employees.
Public Comment
Citizens wishing to make comments
on the business of the MHCC are
encouraged to register by or before
Monday, October 3, 2022, for the
October session and October 31, 2022,
for the November session, by contacting
the Administering Organization (AO),
Home Innovation Research Labs;
Attention: Kevin Kauffman, 400 Prince
Georges Blvd., Upper Marlboro, MD
20774, or email to mhcc@
homeinnovation.com or call 1–888–
602–4663. Written comments are
encouraged. The MHCC strives to
accommodate citizen comments to the
extent possible within the time
constraints of the meeting agendas.
Advance registration for both meetings
is strongly encouraged. The MHCC will
also provide an opportunity for public
comment on specific matters before the
MHCC.
The Department of Energy’s Energy
Conservation Standards for
Manufactured Housing (87 FR 32728
(May 31, 2022)), which have a
compliance date of May 31, 2023, do not
fully align with the current
Manufactured Housing Construction
and Safety Standards (MHCSS). Given
that manufacturers have to comply with
the Department of Energy’s Energy
Conservation Standards for
Manufactured Housing and the MHCSS,
and HUD’s role in regulating the
manufactured housing industry, HUD
considers it imperative to promptly
proceed with rulemaking to align the
MHCSS with the Department of
Energy’s Energy Conservation Standards
for Manufactured Housing. To this end,
HUD is scheduling two sets of meetings
of the MHCC to allow discussion,
analysis, and recommendation to HUD
of such alignment. These meetings are
scheduled for three days each to provide
PO 00000
Frm 00033
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
sufficient time for thorough
consideration. HUD, therefore, strongly
encourages active participation by
committee members, stakeholders, and
other interested parties. The Secretary’s
requested outcome of the meetings will
be for the MHCC to propose
recommended changes to the
Manufactured Home Construction and
Safety Standards that align with the
Department of Energy’s Energy
Conservation Standards for
Manufactured Housing. Due to the
impending May 31, 2023, date for
compliance with the Department of
Energy’s Energy Conservation Standards
for Manufactured Housing, HUD
requests an expeditious review
timeframe ending on or about December
31, 2022, for receipt of a response to the
Secretary’s request and proposed
revisions to the MHCSS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, invite
the public to comment on applications
for permits under section 10(a)(1)(A) of
the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
The requested permits would allow the
applicants to conduct activities
intended to promote recovery of species
that are listed as endangered under the
ESA.
DATES:
Background
With some exceptions, the ESA
prohibits activities that constitute take
of listed species unless a Federal permit
is issued that allows such activity. The
ESA’s definition of ‘‘take’’ includes such
activities as pursuing, harassing,
trapping, capturing, or collecting, in
addition to hunting, shooting, harming,
wounding, or killing.
A recovery permit issued by us under
section 10(a)(1)(A) of the ESA
authorizes the permittee to conduct
activities with endangered or threatened
species for scientific purposes that
promote recovery or for enhancement of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Notice of these meetings is provided in accordance with the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. 10(a)(2) through implementing
regulations at 41 CFR 102-3.150. The MHCC was established by the
National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of
1974, 42 U.S.C. 5403(a)(3), as amended by the Manufactured Housing
Improvement Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-569). According to 42 U.S.C. 5403,
as amended, the purposes of the MHCC are to:
Provide periodic recommendations to the Secretary to
adopt, revise, and interpret the Federal manufactured housing
construction and safety standards in accordance with this section;
Provide periodic recommendations to the Secretary to
adopt, revise, and interpret the procedural and enforcement
regulations, including regulations specifying the permissible scope and
conduct of monitoring in accordance with subsection (b);
Be organized and carry out its business in a manner that
guarantees a fair opportunity for the expression and consideration of
various positions and for public participation.
The MHCC is deemed an advisory committee not composed of Federal
employees.
Public Comment
Citizens wishing to make comments on the business of the MHCC are
encouraged to register by or before Monday, October 3, 2022, for the
October session and October 31, 2022, for the November session, by
contacting the Administering Organization (AO), Home Innovation
Research Labs; Attention: Kevin Kauffman, 400 Prince Georges Blvd.,
Upper Marlboro, MD 20774, or email to [email protected] or call
1-888-602-4663. Written comments are encouraged. The MHCC strives to
accommodate citizen comments to the extent possible within the time
constraints of the meeting agendas. Advance registration for both
meetings is strongly encouraged. The MHCC will also provide an
opportunity for public comment on specific matters before the MHCC.
The Department of Energy's Energy Conservation Standards for
Manufactured Housing (87 FR 32728 (May 31, 2022)), which have a
compliance date of May 31, 2023, do not fully align with the current
Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards (MHCSS). Given
that manufacturers have to comply with the Department of Energy's
Energy Conservation Standards for Manufactured Housing and the MHCSS,
and HUD's role in regulating the manufactured housing industry, HUD
considers it imperative to promptly proceed with rulemaking to align
the MHCSS with the Department of Energy's Energy Conservation Standards
for Manufactured Housing. To this end, HUD is scheduling two sets of
meetings of the MHCC to allow discussion, analysis, and recommendation
to HUD of such alignment. These meetings are scheduled for three days
each to provide sufficient time for thorough consideration. HUD,
therefore, strongly encourages active participation by committee
members, stakeholders, and other interested parties. The Secretary's
requested outcome of the meetings will be for the MHCC to propose
recommended changes to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety
Standards that align with the Department of Energy's Energy
Conservation Standards for Manufactured Housing. Due to the impending
May 31, 2023, date for compliance with the Department of Energy's
Energy Conservation Standards for Manufactured Housing, HUD requests an
expeditious review timeframe ending on or about December 31, 2022, for
receipt of a response to the Secretary's request and proposed revisions
to the MHCSS.
