SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is

Section A.

A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Manufactured Home Construction and 
Safety Standards Act Reporting.
    OMB Approval Number: 2502-0253.
    Type of Request: Revision.
    Form Number: None.
    Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use: The 
Federal Standards and Procedural Regulations require manufactured home 
producers to place labels and notices in and on manufactured homes and 
mandate State and Private agencies participating in the Federal program 
to issue reports. Under revisions to the current reporting requirements 
and Regulations, a streamlined procedure has been added that will allow 
manufacturers, under certain circumstances, to complete construction of 
their homes on-site rather than in the factory without first having to 
obtain advance approval from HUD. In addition, some information 
collected assists both HUD and State Agency's in locating manufactured 
homes with defects, which then would create the need for notification 
and/or correction by the manufacturer.
    Respondents (i.e. affected public): Business or other for-profit.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 182.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 105,479.
    Frequency of Response: Monthly.
    Average Hours per Response: 1.5.
    Total Estimated Burdens: 147,515.

B. Solicitation of Public Comment

    This notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and 
affected parties concerning the collection of information described in 
Section A on the following: (1) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (2) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (3) Ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) Ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who 
are to respond; including through the use of appropriate automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., 
permitting electronic submission of responses.
    HUD encourages interested parties to submit comment in response to 
these questions.

    Authority: Section 3507 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
44 U.S.C. Chapter 35.

    Date: June 9, 2017.
Genger Charles,
General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Housing.
