Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing Commissioner, HUD.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
SUMMARY: HUD is proposing to amend the Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards (FMHCSS) to update many of the standards that are incorporated by reference therein. These reference standards, which are developed by voluntary consensus or industry groups, provide necessary technical standards for the FMHCSS. These proposed amendments would keep the FMHCSS current with the industries that use these reference standards by incorporating the latest edition of these standards and new relevant standards.
DATES: Comment Due Date: December 29, 1998.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments regarding this proposed rule to the Rules Docket Clerk, Office of the General Counsel, Room 10276, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Washington, DC 20410. Communications should refer to the above docket number and title. A copy of each communication submitted will be available for public inspection and copying between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. weekdays at the above address. Facsimile (FAX) comments will not be accepted.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David R. Williamson, Director, Office of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs, Room 9156, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Washington, DC 20410; telephone (202) 708-6423 (this is not a toll-free number). Persons with hearing or speech impairments may access that number toll-free via TTY by calling the Federal Information Relay Service at (800) 877-8399.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
-
Background
The National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5401 et seq.) (the Act) authorizes the Secretary of HUD to establish and amend the Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards (the Standards), codified in 24 CFR part 3280. The purposes of the Act are ``to reduce the number of personal injuries and deaths and the amount of insurance cost and property damage resulting from manufactured home accidents and to improve the quality and durability of manufactured homes'' (42 U.S.C. 5401). Additionally, OMB Circular A-119, as revised on February 19, 1998 (63 FR 8546) for consistency with the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-113; 110 Stat. 775) (NTTAA), requires Federal agencies to use appropriate technical standards that are developed or adopted by private sector standards entities. Section 15(b)(7) of OMB Circular A-119 encourages agencies to review, in a timely manner, their regulations that may reference obsolete and outdated standards. In accordance with the Act and these purposes, HUD is issuing these proposed amendments to the FMHCSS for public comment.
Through this proposed rule, HUD identifies those standards incorporated by reference in the FMHCSS for which it has evaluated updated voluntary consensus and industry standards and recommends adoption of updated standards in accordance with section 11 of OMB Circular A-119. This proposed rule only includes updates for those reference standards for which HUD is ready to accept a more recent edition. In those areas for which this rule is not proposing a more recent edition, HUD considers future rulemaking to be more appropriate. HUD intends to review the currency and applicability of the incorporated reference standards regularly, and to prepare proposed amendments to update them on a 2-year cycle. Where a reference standard change would impose additional compliance burdens or affect the performance of the homes, HUD will always consider the advisability of separate rulemaking.
Since these proposed amendments only involve reference standards, the presentation of the changes and discussion is in the form of tables. These tables will list the reference standards by their designation, edition date, title, and the sections of the FMHCSS in which it can be found. Table 1 lists all the reference standards currently in the FMHCSS. Table 2 lists all the reference standards that this rule proposes to include in the FMHCSS. An indicator with each reference standard will provide the action being taken on each standard by this proposed rule. Table 3 lists those organizations providing the reference standards to be incorporated. Table 4 lists new reference standards that previously were not referenced in the FMHCSS, and provides specific comments about some of the standards. (Note: The reference standards in Table 4 are also listed in Table 2.) Table 5 lists those reference standards that would be deleted from the FMHCSS.
-
Comments Requested
This proposed rule invites public comment prior to the final issuance of changes to the standards referenced in part 3280. Commenters are urged to identify and address the particular standards for which comment is being submitted. Commenters also may offer suggestions for more appropriate or more current substitutions of specific proposed standards.

Reference Standards Currently In Effect (Table 1)
Table 1 lists those reference standards currently in effect in the FMHCSS. The last column in Table 1 indicates those sections of part 3280 in which the applicable standard is referenced.

Proposed Changes To Reference Standards (Table 2)
Table 2 is the list of updated standards being proposed. Those reference standards that would be deleted from HUD's incorporation by reference do not appear in this table; however, they are listed, along with the reason for deletion, in Table 5. When the most recent edition of a reference standard is being proposed, it is indicated by a ``U.'' If the current edition would be retained because it is the most current, it is indicated by a ``NC.'' Updated reference standards that would impose new or significantly altered requirements are on hold and are indicated by ``H.'' New reference standards proposed to be incorporated are indicated by an ``N''; the new standards are listed in Table 5. The indicator is located just above the first letter of the standards designation.

New Reference Standards (Table 4)
In order to remain abreast of the industries that use those reference standards incorporated into the FMHCSS, and to be in accord with section 11 of OMB Circular A-119, HUD is proposing to incorporate the latest edition of those reference standards and incorporate new relevant reference standards. However, this proposed rule only includes updates for those reference standards for which HUD is ready to accept a more recent edition. In those areas for which this rule is not proposing a more recent edition, HUD considers future rulemaking to be more appropriate. Those new reference
[[Page 58583]]
standards not previously incorporated into the FMHCSS are listed in Table 4. Those reference standards being deleted from the FMHCSS are listed in Table 5.
Table 4.--List of New Reference Standards Being Proposed
AAMA/NWWDA 101/I.S.2- 97................
1997 Voluntary Specifications for Aluminum, Vinyl (PVC) 3280.304(b)(1). and Wood Windows and Glass Doors.
3280.405(c)(2). The AAMA/NWWDA 101/I.S.2-97 standard would replace the NWWDA standards I.S.1, .2, .3, and .4. AAMA 1600...............................
1990 Voluntary Specification for Skylights.............. 3280.403(b). ANSI/NSF 61.............................
1997 Drinking Water Systems Components-Health Effects... 3280.604(b)(2). The requirements of the ANSI/NSF 61 standard were previously part of NSF 14, but would now be addressed separately. ASSE 1051...............................
1996 Air Admittance Valves for Plumbing Drainage Systems- 3280.604. Fixture and Branch Devices.
3280.611(d). The ASSE 1051 standard would provide an alternative to the prescriptive requirements for anti-siphon trap vent devices that are specified in Sec. 3280.611(d). ANSI A208.2.............................
1994 Medium Density Fiberboard.......................... 3280.304(b)(1). The ANSI A208.2 standard would incorporate the MDF standard that is used by the industry and establish it as the base level for the performance of this product. It would also codify a mandatory formaldehyde emission level for MDF. However, as this standard is currently being used by the industry, its incorporation is not believed to have either an economic or environmental impact. ASTM C920-95............................
1995 Standard Specification for Elastomeric Joint
3280.611(d)(5). Sealants. ASTM F876-96............................
1996 Standard Specification for Crosslinked Poluethylene 3280.604(a). (PEX) Tubing. ASTM F877-96............................
1996 Standard Specification for Crosslinked Poluethylene 3280.604(a) (PEX) Plastic Hot and Cold Water Distribution Systems. ASTM F1807-97...........................
1997 Specification for Metal Insert Fittings Utilizing a 3280.604(a). Copper Crimp Ring for SDR-9 Crosslinked Polyethylene Tubing. ASTM F876, F877, and F1807 are being incorporated to provide an appropriate reference for the Crosslinked Polyethylene (PEX) systems currently being installed in manufactured homes. Present PEX installations require that HUD and DAPIAs verify that each system, which is the tubing and specific connectors, is listed for its intended use. With the availability of an appropriate fitting standard, this should no longer be necessary in all cases. Where fittings other than the metal insert type are desired, an appropriate listing of the system would still be required. HUD will consider incorporating other fitting standards recommended in response to this proposed rule change. NFRC-100................................
1997 Procedure for Determining Fenestration Product U 3280.508(e). Factors April 1997 Edition. The NFRC-100 standard would provide an alternative for those window manufacturers who used this method in order to comply with the mandatory requirements of other programs.

1992 Standard Specification for Polybutylene (PB)
3280.604(a). Plastic Hot- & Cold-Water Distribution Systems. Polybutylene tubing is no longer being produced, and it is no longer being installed in manufactured homes. Accordingly, HUD is proposing to remove the standard ASTM D3309-92 from its standards. FED WWP541E.............................

-
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
This rule does not impose any Federal mandates on any State, local, or tribal governments, or on the private sector, within the meaning of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4; approved March 22, 1995).
-
Impact on the Environment
A Finding of No Significant Impact with respect to the environment was made in accordance with HUD regulations in 24 CFR part 50 that implement section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4223). The Finding is available for public inspection between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. weekdays in the Office of the Rules Docket Clerk, Office of General Counsel, Room 10276, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Washington, DC 20410.
-
Impact on Small Entities
The Secretary, in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 605(b)), has reviewed this proposed rule before publication and by approving it certifies that this rule is not anticipated to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. HUD has evaluated the potential effects of this proposed rule and determined that it would not place major burdens on manufactured home manufacturers or their suppliers. In its evaluation, HUD noted that new or updated references are being proposed only for the purpose of remaining abreast of the manufactured home industry. The inclusion of reference standard changes that would impose significant new requirements is not being addressed with this proposed rule. While HUD does not anticipate that this proposed rule would have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities, HUD specifically requests comments regarding alternatives to compliance that may be less burdensome on such entities.
-
Federalism Impact
The General Counsel, as the Designated Official under section 6(a) of Executive Order 12612, Federalism, has determined that the policies contained in this proposed rule are covered by section 604(d) of the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974, and therefore, would not have substantial direct effects on States or their political subdivisions, or the relationship between the Federal Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. As a result, the rule is not subject to review under the Order.
