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: Revision 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 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 within 4
months of shipment. Other selected housing characteristics collected
include size, location, and titling. HUD is authorized to collect these
statistics under the ``Housing and Community Development Act of 1980,''
Title 42 U.S.C. 5424 note (see Attachment 3), which provides the
Secretary discretion to take necessary actions to ensure the public is
aware of the distinctions between the types of factory-built housing.
This allows HUD to collect and report manufactured home sales price
information for the nation, Census Regions, States, and selected
metropolitan statistical areas, and to monitor 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 a basis for
HUD's mandated indexing of loan limits. Section 2145 (b) of the Housing
and Economic Recovery Act (HERA) of 2008 requires HUD to develop a
method of indexing to annually adjust Title I manufactured home loan
limits. This index is partially based on manufactured housing price
data collected by this survey. Section 2145 of the HERA of 2008 also
amends the maximum loan limits for manufactured home loans insured
under Title I. The Final Rule, entitled Indexing Methodology for Title
I Manufactured Home Loan Limits, was published in the Federal Register
on February 28, 2024. This Rule established separate indexing
methodologies to annually calculate future loan limits for Manufactured
Homes Loans, Manufactured Lot Loans and Manufactured Home and Lot
Combination Loans for the Title I Manufactured Home Loan Program.
Single- and double-section price data from this survey are used to
determine maximum loan amounts for Title I Manufactured Home Loans. HUD
implemented the revised loan limits, as shown below, for all
manufactured home loans for which applications are received on or after
March 29, 2024.

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.
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.
Respondents: Business firms or other for-profit institutions.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 4,860.
Frequency of Response: Once.
Average Hours per Response: 20 minutes per response (.33 hour).
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,620.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $58,547. (We do not expect respondents
to incur any costs other than that of their time to respond. The
estimated hourly cost per response is $36.14, which is the hourly rate
for typical

but rather the associated cost burden of the respondents' voluntary
responses.)
