SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Statutory and Regulatory Background
The Secretary of the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development (``Secretary'') administers the National Manufactured
Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5401
et seq.) (``the Act''). Under this authority, the Secretary administers
the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards (24 CFR part
3280) and the Manufactured Home Procedural and Enforcement Regulations
(24 CFR part 3282), as well as the Manufactured Home Installation
Program that includes certification of installation in HUD-Administered
states (24 CFR part 3286). The Manufactured Home Procedural and
Enforcement Regulations prescribe procedures for the enforcement of the
Secretary's administration of these standards. Under 24 CFR
3286.511(c), the Secretary may suspend or revoke an installation
inspector's authority for cause, including among other things, failing
to comply with the requirements of 24 CFR parts 3285 and 3286.
II. Informal Presentation of Views for Mr. Mull
Dale Mull currently has inspection authority to perform inspections
of manufactured home installations in HUD-Administered states. The
Office of Manufactured Housing Programs received multiple consumer
complaints regarding manufactured home inspections performed by Mr.
Mull. An investigation showed that Mr. Mull failed to properly inspect
for the minimum elements established by 24 CFR 3286.505 and attested
satisfaction with installation requirements related to at least seven
manufactured home installations in Atlantic County, New Jersey, a HUD-
Administered state, that did not conform with the Model Manufactured
Home Installation Standards, (24 CFR part 3285).
Accordingly, on October 2, 2024, the Secretary notified Mr. Mull of
the intent to suspend or revoke his inspection authority in accordance
with 24 CFR 3286.511(c). On October 23, 2024, Mr. Mull responded and
requested a presentation of views. Along with this request, Mr. Mull
submitted a statement and documentation. Upon consideration of the
factors identified in 24 CFR 3282.152(c)(4), the Secretary has
determined that an Informal Presentation of Views will be held in
accordance with the provisions of 24 CFR 3282.152(f). The parties
involved in this proceeding are Dale Mull and the Secretary.
Jason McJury is hereby designated as the presiding officer for all
proceedings. Mr. McJury is the Deputy Administrator of HUD's Office of
Manufactured Housing Programs. Inquiries should be directed to the
person listed under For Further Information Contact above. All
submissions will be taken in writing and considered by the presiding
officer. The presiding officer will review written statements and
documentary evidence as soon as practicable following the closing date
of this notice. As provided for by 24 CFR 3282.153, interested persons
may participate in the Informal Presentation of Views by presenting
documentary evidence regarding this Notice to the address identified
above or by sending digital
[[Page 60391]]
statements and documentation to the email address identified above.

Duties of the General Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Office of
Housing.
