PURPOSE: This rule establishes installation decal requirements and fees for manufactured home installers.
(1) Requirements for Installation Decals.
(A) An installation decal issued by the
manufactured housing and modular units program shall be a permanent stick-on
decal to be attached to the exterior of the home and shall also include a
sign-off portion of the decal, which must be attached next to the data plate
inside the home with the initials and license number of each installer involved
with the initial setup and installation of the home.
(B) The primary installer who is responsible
for the initial setup and installation of the manufactured home which includes
site preparation and foundation and any portion of the blocking, leveling, or
roof installation is responsible for affixing the installation decal and the
sign-off portion of the decal to the manufactured home upon completion of
blocking, leveling, or roof installation.
(C) A decal shall be affixed to the
manufactured home in a permanent manner in a visible location within two feet
(2') of the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) label.
(D) Decals may be purchased by licensed
installers by submitting an application to the manufactured housing and modular
units program, in duplicate together with the appropriate twenty-seven dollars
($27) for each decal.
(E) Only
licensed installers may be issued installation decals by the manufactured
housing and modular units program and decals shall be affixed only by licensed
installers upon completion of the blocking and leveling.
(F) The licensed installer purchasing decals
from the manufactured housing and modular units program shall be responsible
for decal security, use, and reporting.
(G) Decals assigned to licensed installers
may only be transferred by the manufactured housing and modular units
program.
(H) If an installer
license is suspended, revoked, or expires, or the installer is no longer in
business, all unused decals issued to that person shall be returned to the
manufactured housing and modular units program. The decal fee may be refunded
by the manufactured housing and modular units program, if a refund application
is completed by the applicant as provided by the manufactured housing and
modular units program.
(I) Primary
installers who fail to attach the installation decal and/or the sign-off
portion of the decal to the home immediately after the completion of the
blocking and leveling of the home shall be subject to a two hundred dollar
($200) inspection fee. The fee shall be paid and submitted to the manufactured
housing and modular units program within ten (10) days after notification by
the manager.
(2) The manager may deny any request for decals when-
(A) An inspection reveals that a manufactured
home or tie-down installation is not installed according to the manufacturer's
installation manual or setup standards and no corrective action, or
insufficient corrective action is taken by the installer as required by this
program;
(B) An installer's license
has expired, or has been suspended or revoked, or there is evidence of failure
to comply with the requirements described in the program; and
(C) The applicant has failed to file the
monthly installation decal report.
(3) Monthly Installation Decal Report.
(A) A licensed installer who has purchased
installation decals directly from the manufactured housing and modular units
program shall submit a monthly report with the manufactured housing and modular
units program no later than the tenth of the month following the month when the
decals were placed.
(B) The report
shall be filed on the Installation Decal Report Form provided by the
manufactured housing and modular units program. The forms may be obtained from
the Missouri Public Service Commission, PO Box 360, Jefferson City, MO 65102 or
online at www.psc.mo.gov.
(C) A report shall be filed for each month or
part of the month for which the installer is licensed. If no decals are placed
or installed in a given month, the installer shall file the usual form no later
than the tenth of the following month.
(D) The licensed installer or a
representative of the licensed installer shall sign the report.
(E) The licensed installer shall maintain a
copy of this report for his/her records.
(F) The manager may reject all monthly
reports that are incomplete and require the installer to submit corrected
reports.
(G) The manager, in
consultation with the commission staff director, after attempting to contact
the entity involved and documenting consideration of potential mitigating
factors, including, but not limited to, the number of similar non-compliance
issues, circumstances beyond the installer's control, and the installer's
responsiveness to commission requirements, may assess a late submission fee of
fifty dollars ($50) per report for each report that is filed sixty (60) days
after the due date. The manager will track fees assessed or waived under this
provision, along with any documented consideration of mitigating factors, and
compile a quarterly report summarizing such information for review by the
commission.
(H) The commission may
suspend the installer's license for any report not submitted within sixty (60)
days of the due date.
(I) Failure
to submit a completed monthly report within ninety (90) days of the due date or
failure to pay any required fees could result in revocation of the installer's
license.
