A. Overview of Information Collection

    Title of Information Collection: Manufactured Home Construction and 
Safety Standards Act Park Model RV Exemption Notice.
    OMB Approval Number: 2502-0616.
    OMB Expiration Date: January 31, 2024.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Form Number: None.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use: For 
recreational vehicles that are exempt from HUD regulation as 
manufactured homes, HUD requires certification with either the American 
National Standards Institute's (ANSI) standard for Park Model 
Recreational Vehicles (PMRV), A119.5-15 or the National Fire Protection 
Association's NFPA 1192,

[[Page 75013]]

Standard on Recreational Vehicles, 2015 Edition. PMRVs built to ANSI 
A119.5-15 may exceed the RV exemption's 400 square foot threshold; a 
manufacturer must post notice in the home that the structure is only 
designed for recreational purposes and is not designed as a primary 
residence or for permanent occupancy. The Recreation Vehicle Industry 
Association's (RVIA) current seal does not satisfy HUD's standard for 
the manufacturer's notice. HUD requirements provide specifics regarding 
the content and prominence of the notice and which requires the notice 
to be prominently displayed in the unit and delivered to the consumer 
before the sale transaction is complete, regardless of whether the 
transaction occurs online or in-person. PMRV manufacturers will satisfy 
this requirement with two printed sheets of paper per PMRV: One in the 
kitchen, and one delivered to the consumer before the transaction.
    Respondents: Business or other for-profit.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 25.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 4,480 per annum.
    Frequency of Response: Approximately 179.
    Average Hours per Response: 20 seconds.
    Total Estimated Burden: 25 hours.

    (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the

    (5) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
