SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 604 of the Manufactured
Housing Improvement Act of 2000 (Pub.
L. 106–569) amended the National
Manufactured Housing Construction
and Safety Standards Act of 1974 (42
U.S.C. 5401–5426) (the Act) to require
the establishment of the Manufactured
Housing Consensus Committee (MHCC),
a Federal advisory committee, to: (1)
provide periodic recommendations to
the Secretary to adopt, revise, and
interpret the manufactured housing
construction and safety standards; and
(2) provide periodic recommendations
to the Secretary to adopt, revise, and
interpret the procedural and
enforcement manufactured housing
regulations. The Act authorizes the
Secretary to appoint a total of twentytwo members to the MHCC. Twenty-one
members have voting rights; the twentysecond member represents the Secretary
and is a non-voting position. Service on
the MHCC is voluntary. Travel and per
diem for meetings is provided in
accordance with Federal travel policy
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 5703.
HUD encourages nominations from
highly qualified and motivated
individuals of diverse backgrounds,
interests, and experience, who meet the
requirements set forth in the Act to
serve as voting members of the MHCC
for up to two terms of three years each.
The MHCC expects to meet at least one
to two times annually. Meetings may
take place by conference call, virtually,
or in person. Members of the MHCC
undertake additional work
commitments on subcommittees and
task forces regarding issues under
deliberation.

Nominee Selection and Appointment
Members of the MHCC are appointed
to serve in one of three member
categories. Nominees will be appointed
to fill voting member vacancies in the
following categories:
1. Producers—Seven individuals from
producers or retailers of manufactured
housing.
2. Users—Seven individuals
representing consumer interests, such as
consumer organizations, recognized
consumer leaders, and owners who are
residents of manufactured homes.
3. General Interest and Public
Officials—Seven general interest and
public official members.
The Act provides that the Secretary
shall ensure that all interests directly
and materially affected by the work of
the MHCC have the opportunity for fair
and equitable participation without
dominance by any single interest. The
Secretary may reject the appointment of
any one or more individuals to ensure
that there is not dominance by any
single interest. For purposes of this
determination, dominance is defined as
a position or exercise of dominant
authority, leadership, or influence by
reason of superior leverage, strength, or
representation.
Additional requirements governing
appointment and member service
include:
(1) Nominees appointed to the User
category and three of the individuals
appointed to the General Interest and
Public Official category shall not have a
significant financial interest in any
segment of the manufactured housing
industry or a significant relationship to
any person engaged in the manufactured
housing industry.
(2) Each member serving in the User
category shall be subject to a ban
disallowing compensation from the
manufactured housing industry during
the period of, and during the one year
following, his or her membership on the
MHCC.
(3) Nominees selected for
appointment to the MHCC shall be
required to provide disclosures and
certifications regarding conflict-ofinterest and eligibility for membership
prior to finalizing an appointment.
All selected nominees will be
required to submit certifications of
eligibility under the foregoing criteria,
as a prerequisite to final appointment.
Consensus Committee—Advisory Role
The MHCC’s role is solely to advise
the Secretary on the subject matter
described above.

Jkt 262001
Federal Advisory Committee Act
The MHCC is subject to the
requirements of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (5 U.S.C. Ch. 10), 41 CFR
part 102–3 (the FACA Final Rule), and
to the Presidential Memorandum, dated
June 18, 2010, directing all heads of
executive departments and agencies not
to make any new appointments or
reappointments of federally registered
lobbyists to advisory committees and
other boards and commissions. The June
18, 2010, Presidential Memorandum
authorized the Director of the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to issue
guidance to implement this policy. On
August 13, 2014, OMB issued guidance
regarding the prohibition against
appointing or re-appointing federally
registered lobbyists to clarify that the
ban applies to persons serving on
advisory committees, boards, and
commissions in their individual
capacity and does not apply if they are
specifically appointed to represent the
interests of a nongovernmental entity, a
recognizable group of persons or
nongovernmental entities (an industry
sector, labor unions, environmental
groups, etc.), or state or local
governments (79 FR 47482).
Term of Office
MHCC members serve at the
discretion of the Secretary or for a threeyear term, up to two terms.
Nominee Information
Individuals seeking nomination to the
MHCC should submit detailed
information documenting their
qualifications as addressed in the Act
and this Notice. In furtherance of
Executive Order 14035, Executive Order
on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and
Accessibility in the Federal Workforce
(86 FR 34593), HUD seeks for the MHCC
to reflect the diversity of stakeholders in
the housing market. The nomination
website listed above, therefore, contains
questions to elicit demographic
information. Nominees may briefly
summarize why they want to be a
member of the MHCC and include
unique skills, knowledge, and
experiences that they would bring to
inform the work of the committee.
Individuals may nominate themselves.
HUD recommends that the application
for nomination be accompanied by a
resume.
Additional Information
The Department will make
appointments and reappointments from
nominations submitted in response to
this Notice. To be considered for
appointment to a position of an MHCC
member whose term will expire in
