On-Site Completion of Construction of Manufactured Homes
This proposed rule would establish a procedure whereby construction of new manufactured housing can be completed at the installation site, rather than in the factory.

This rule would apply only to the completion of homes subject to the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, not to the installation of homes subject to the Model Manufactured Home Installation Standards. Additionally, the proposed rule would not apply when a major section of a manufactured home is to be constructed on-site.
