The Hill tells MHProNews that the Tuesday November 4th edition of the Federal Register contains “new rules for computer power cords, airplanes flying in icy conditions, mobile home construction standards, and credit unions.”

The Federal Register’s document is styled: Billing Code 4210-67, DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT, [Docket No. FR- 5803-N-01], Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, Request for Recommended Changes, and is linked here.

Quoting The Hill:

“Mobile homes: The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is considering more changes to the construction standards for mobile homes.

HUD is inviting the public to propose changes to the agency’s manufactured home construction and safety standards by Dec. 31, 2014. The agency says it is looking to improve the quality, durability, safety and affordability of mobile homes.

This is the latest of several recent changes to federal regulations for mobile homes.”

Since The Hill is widely read at U.S. Capitol, it would be helpful if they realized that there have been no “mobile homes” built in the U.S. since June 15, 1976.

Comments from industry or the public on the proposals can be made via the information found on the download, linked above. ##
