The information is collected from
manufactured housing dealers and is used by HUD to monitor total
new housing production and its affordability, to monitor and
evaluate its programs, and by a variety of private trade
associations and businesses for housing market analysis.
The burden was reduced due to
the decrease in the sample size. Reduction in sample size is due to
a decline in the number of manufactured homes that are being
shipped.

the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
