To carry out its responsibilities under the Act, HUD has issued the Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards (the Standards), 24 CFR 3280. The Department has also issued the Manufactured Home Procedural and Enforcement Regulations (the Regulations), 24 CFR 3282, to enforce these standards. The Regulations incorporate an exemption from HUD regulation for recreational vehicles (RV) if they are: built on a single chassis; 400 square feet or less when measured at their largest horizontal projections; self-propelled or permanently towable by a light duty truck; and designed primarily not for use as a permanent dwelling but as temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, travel, or seasonal use. Through recent rulemaking, HUD is adopting a recommendation of the Manufactured Housing Consensus Committee (MHCC), a Federal Advisory Committee, and is clarifying the definition of recreational vehicle (RV) and modifying it to require certification with either the American National Standards Institute’s (ANSI) standard for Park Model Recreational Vehicles (PMRV), A119.5–15 or the National Fire Protection Association’s NFPA 1192, Standard on Recreational Vehicles, 2015 Edition. Since Park Model RVs built to ANSI A119.5-15 may exceed the RV exemption’s 400 square foot threshold, a manufacturer must post notice in the home that the structure is only designed for recreational purposes and is not designed as a primary residence or for permanent occupancy.
The collection of information is essential to the mission of the agency.

This is a new information collection package. Through recent rulemaking, HUD is adopting a recommendation of the Manufactured Housing Consensus Committee (MHCC), a Federal Advisory Committee, and is clarifying the definition of recreational vehicle (RV) and modifying it to require certification with either the American National Standards Institute’s (ANSI) standard for Park Model Recreational Vehicles (PMRV), A119.5–15 or the National Fire Protection Association’s NFPA 1192, Standard on Recreational Vehicles, 2015 Edition. Since Park Model RVs built to ANSI A119.5-15 may exceed the RV exemption’s 400 square foot threshold, a manufacturer must post notice in the home that the structure is only designed for recreational purposes and is not designed as a primary residence or for permanent occupancy. The proposed rule for this requirement published in the Federal Register on February 9, 2016 at 81 Fed. Reg. 6806 included an estimate of the information collection burdens at the time of the publication. The Department did not receive any substantive comment from either the public or the from OMB regarding the proposed information collection or burden estimates included in the proposed rule. More recent discussion with the RV Industry Association has informed this information collection burden estimate as the number of RV manufacturers building Park Model RVs has increased slightly since the proposed rule. Therefore, for this submission of this new information collection, HUD is identifying the burden hours resulting from the requirement for PMRV manufacturers that produce exempt products to provide specific consumer notifications. HUD has determined that this information collection burden does not fit within other information collections for the Manufactured Housing program. Therefore, this information collection is being submitted as a new collection. This information collection: • Includes the PMRV manufacturers as respondents (22 PMRV manufacturers building to the A119.5–15 Standard) • Includes the burden hours associated with the time and cost for delivering a Manufacturer’s Notice to prospective consumers prior to the completion of the sales transaction and placing the same notice inside the exempted PMRV. This is estimated at approximately 20 seconds per notice, the time incurred in developing a template notice, and using that template to create copies for delivery and posting in affected PMRVs.
