Regulatory Flexibility Act The Regulatory Flexibility Act RFA
5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. generally requires an agency to conduct a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to notice and comment rulemaking requirements, unless the agency certifies that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. It is HUDs position that this proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This proposed rule would regulate establishments primarily engaged in making manufactured homes NAICS 32991. The U.S. Small Business Administrations size standards define an establishment primarily engaged in making manufactured homes as small if it does not exceed 1,250 employees. Of the 222
firms included under this NAICS
definition, approximately 35 produce manufactured homes subject to HUDs Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards. Other entities covered by this NAICS code build nonHUD Code prefabricated buildings. Of the 35 manufacturers subject to HUDs Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards, 31 are considered

to be small businesses based on the threshold of 1,250 employees or less.
The final rule applies to all the manufacturers and thus would affect a substantial number of small entities.
Small entities have the ability and capability to offer the same type of housing products with the same or similar options, features, and appliances as larger manufacturers. However, smaller manufacturers have more difficulty spreading regulatory costs over the higher production of homes like that of a large, higher producing manufacturer. Small manufacturers would need to bear the costs, reducing profit margins accordingly or passingthrough the costs over lower production amounts. This may disproportionally increase the cost of housing products for small manufacturers considering the same or similar options, features, and appliances. This rule, however, would provide small manufacturers greater flexibility to pursue design options and, more importantly, obtain cost savings resulting from the elimination of the need to obtain HUD approval through the AC process see 3282.14. More specifically, small manufacturers are more likely to engage engineering consultants and other non-staff
