SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in
Section A.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Manufactured Housing Survey.
OMB Approval Number: 2528-0029.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Form Number: C-MH-9A.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
Manufactured Housing Survey collects data monthly on the
characteristics of newly manufactured homes placed for residential use.
Key data collected includes sales price and the number of units placed
and sold. A letter is sent to the dealer--4 months after the--shipment
date. Other selected housing characteristics collected include size,
location, and titling. HUD uses the statistics to respond to a
Congressional mandate in the Housing and Community Development Act of
1980, 42 U.S.C. 5424 note, which authorizes HUD to use its discretion
to take actions necessary ensure that the public is fully aware of the
distinctions between the various types of manufactured housing.
Accordingly, HUD collects, reports manufactured home sales, and price
information for the nation, census regions, states, and selected
metropolitan areas and monitors whether new manufactured homes are
being placed on owned rather than rented lots. HUD also used these data
to monitor total housing production and its affordability. Furthermore,
the Manufactured Housing Survey serves as the basis for HUD's mandated
indexing of loan limits. Section 2145(b) of the
[[Page 14029]]
Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA), Public Law 110-289,
122 Stat. Sec. 2844-2845, requires HUD to develop a method of indexing
to annually adjust Title I manufactured home loan limits. This index is
based on manufactured housing price data collected by -the United
States Census Bureau using this survey. Section 2145(b) of the Housing
and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA), Public Law 110-289, 122 Stat.
Sec. 2844-2845 also amends the maximum loan limits for manufactured
home loans insured under Title I. In Title I Letter TI-480, HUD
implemented the revised loan limits, as shown below, for all
manufactured home loans for which applications are received on or after
March 3, 2009.
