Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards: Notice of Internal Guidance on Preemption

The Office of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs in HUD has developed guidelines to assist its staff in addressing preemption issues concerning the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974. Because of the interest of outside persons in the subject generally, HUD has decided to publish these internal guidelines to assist regulated entities and consumers in understanding the guidelines under which HUD will be operating. These guidelines are not binding on either HUD or the public and are published for informational purposes only.
