Comment Only required for homes that incorporate a gas burning appliance and then preempts state and local requirements already established in 38
states.
Provides an option to ventilation requirements established at 3280.103b and c.
Provides for a referenced standard to conduct polarity checks as an option to visual polarity checks.
Only required for homes that incorporate a gas burning appliance or an attached garage and then preempts state and local requirements already established in 38 states.
Allows for a manufacturer to design and construct attached housing that is otherwise only permitted through an AC review and approval.
Provides for a referenced standard for manufacturers to use combination carbon monoxide and smoke alarms. This standard addresses smoke alarm operation of the combination alarms.

determination must be made whether a regulatory action is significant and, therefore, subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget OMB in accordance with the requirements of the order. Executive Order 13563
Improving Regulations and Regulatory Review directs executive agencies to analyze regulations that are outmoded, ineffective, insufficient, or excessively burdensome, and to modify, streamline, expand, or repeal them in accordance with what has been learned. Executive Order 13563 also directs that, where relevant, feasible, and consistent with regulatory objectives, and to the extent permitted by law, agencies are to identify and consider regulatory approaches that reduce burdens and maintain flexibility and freedom of choice for the public.
This rule was determined to be a significant regulatory action as defined in section 3f of the Executive order although not an economically significant regulatory action, as provided under section 3f1 of the Executive order.
Executive Order 13771
Executive Order 13771, entitled Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs, was issued on January 30, 2017. This rule is expected to be an Executive Order 13771
regulatory action. Details on the estimated cost savings of this final rule

Summary of Benefits and Costs of Rule As discussed, this final rule would amend the Federal Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards by adopting recommendations made to HUD by the MHCC. In this regard, this final rule revises various standards that reflect current construction practices used by the manufacturing housing industry and the home construction industry in general. For example, when a manufacturer chooses to install a carbon monoxide alarm, the manufacturer will use an alarm that has been listed in accordance with requirements of ANSI/UL 2034 and the manufacturer will install the alarm in accordance with the products installation instructions that meet the requirements of NFPA 720. Similarly, standards proposed that are applicable to interior door widths as well as those provisions for multi-story and attached manufactured homes are based on current construction practices that have largely been established due to preexisting requirements of state and local jurisdictions for other housing products i.e., site-built or modular. Other standards recommended by the MHCC
and proposed by HUD, such as those that would define requirements for stairways, landings, handrails, guards
