Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards; Manufactured Home Tires; Amendment of HUD Interpretative Bulletin J-1-76

요약

HUD is amending Interpretative Bulletin J-1-76 to remove a paragraph that references an expiration date applicable to one part of the Interpretative Bulletin. After that date the part of the Interpretative Bulletin that permits tires used to transport manufactured homes to be loaded to a maximum of 18 percent above their rated load capacity would no longer be effective. Similarly, elsewhere in today's Federal Register, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration ("FMCSA") of the Department of Transportation is publishing a final rule delaying the date for the expiration of its regulations permitting the same loading of tires for manufactured homes. Consistent with an earlier joint rulemaking, these actions are being taken mutually by HUD and the FMCSA in response to information that the current requirements achieve an appropriate level of safety.
