The Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR), commenting on the proposed new ground anchor testing criteria and standards, says it has no objections as long as the new rule is consistent with recommendations made by the Manufactured Housing Consensus Committee (MHCC). However, MHARR calls for HUD to allow existing anchors to be utilized beyond the deadline set for the new standard until the supply is depleted. MHProNews has learned MHARR does object to the re-codification of certain federal installation standards that could subject the industry to inconsistent and discriminatory state and local regulation.
