Energy efficiency standards take effect only through the housing agency's process
What the document says“No energy efficiency standards for manufactured homes developed by any Federal agency shall have legal effect unless and until adopted by the Department of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to the consensus standards and regulatory development process described in section 604(a)(2) of the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5403(a)(2)).”
The section provides that no energy efficiency standard for manufactured homes written by any federal agency has legal effect until the Department of Housing and Urban Development adopts it through the consensus standards process in section 604(a)(2) of the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974. The Secretary must adopt minimum energy efficiency standards for these homes within a year of enactment and update them at least every three years.
What the document actually says“No energy efficiency standards for manufactured homes developed by any Federal agency shall have legal effect unless and until adopted by the Department of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to the consensus standards and regulatory development process described in section 604(a)(2) of the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5403(a)(2)).”
Some other agency may write energy rules for these homes. Those rules do not bind anyone yet. They bind only once the housing agency takes them up.
The housing agency must also set its own least strict rules. It has one year to do that. It must look at them again at least every three years.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
