Description:  TITLE: Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards; Delay of Effective 
Date 
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Housing --Federal Housing Commissioner, HUD  
ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective date  
SUMMARY: The Department of Housing and  Urban Development is delaying the effective date of its 
final rule published on 12 January 2021, that amends the Federal Manufactured Home Construction 
and Safety Standards (the Construction and Safety Standards) that were based upon the third group 
of recommendations made to HUD by the Manufactured Housing Consensus Committee (MHCC), as 
modified by HUD. The 15 March 2021, effective date does not provide adequate time for affected 
manufacturers and stakeholders to implement the new requirements. By extendi ng the effective 
date from 15 March 2021, to 12 July 2021, manufacturers and other stakeholders will have sufficient 
time to implement the new or amended requirements.
