OMB Approval No. 2502-0578
Expires 04/30/2018

Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 5404(c)(2) (section 605(c)(2) of the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974), HUD will
implement an installation program in each state that does not have a program meeting the requirements of 42 U.S.C. § 5404(c)(3). This State
Installation Program Certification form will be used for each state to self-certify the adequacy of its installation program, and for HUD to review that selfcertification. Your answers to the following questions are necessary for a proper review, although some questions are for informational purposes only.
Please answer each question completely, but concisely. Additional pages may be used if necessary, identifying each item by number. At the end of the
form, please certify the responses as full and accurate. Public reporting burden for this collection is estimated to average 0.50 hours per response
including the time for reviewing the instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data as needed, and completing and
reviewing the collection of information. Response to the information collection is mandatory. This agency may not collect this information, and no one is
required to complete this form, unless the form displays a currently valid OMB control number.
