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
[[Page 32182]]
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, and 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
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.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Method of Collection
The methodology for collecting information on new manufactured
homes involves contacting dealers from a monthly sample of new
manufactured homes shipped by manufacturers. The units are sampled from
lists obtained from the Institute for Building Technology and Safety. A
file of all manufactured homes sections shipped during the month is
provided to the Census Bureau by the Institute for Building Technology
and Safety (IBTS) on a monthly basis. Dealers that take shipment of the
selected homes are mailed a survey form four months after shipment for
recording the status of the manufactured home.
