HUD Amends Manufactured Home Safety Standards and Tires Rule

Summary

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is updating its Interpretative Bulletin J-1-76 to remove a provision that expires on a certain date, effectively ending the allowance for loading tires on manufactured homes to 18% above their rated capacity. This change is part of a joint effort with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to maintain safety standards.
