available documents submitted to OMB may be obtained from Ms. Pollard.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in
section A. The Department will submit the proposed information
collection to OMB for review, as required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended).
The Manufactured Housing Survey collects data on new manufactured
homes that are sold or leased for residential use. The survey tracks a
sample of manufactured homes (units) shipped to dealers and the sales
price and characteristics of the sampled units. Beginning in fiscal
year 2015, dealers are contacted once to obtain sales price and
characteristics of the unit. If the unit has been placed by the time
Census contacts the dealer, additional placement data are collected.
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 requires HUD to collect and report
manufactured home sales and price information for the nation, census
regions, states, and selected metropolitan areas and to monitor whether
new manufactured homes are being placed on owned rather than rented
lots. HUD also uses 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 (HERA) of 2008 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 this survey. Section 2145 of the HERA of 2008 also
amends the maximum loan limits for manufactured home loans insured
under Title I. 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.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loan type Purpose Old loan limit New loan limit

COMBINATION LOAN FOR LOT AND HOME............ To purchase or refinance a 64,800 92,904

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Method of Collection: The methodology for collecting information on
new manufactured homes involves contacting 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.
