Washington, D.C., July 20, 2010 – The Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR) has asked the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Dr. Steven Chu, to delay the development and implementation of costly new energy regulations that would have a devastating impact on an already ailing manufactured housing industry and its mostly lower and moderate-income American families.
Under the Energy Conservation and Security Act of 2007 (EISA), responsibility for the regulation of energy conservation in manufactured homes was shifted from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) – which comprehensively regulates manufactured housing construction and safety based on a careful statutorilymandated balance between regulation and cost to consumers — and transferred to DOE. The legislation directs DOE to establish new manufactured housing energy standards, by regulation, within four years of its enactment, based on the mandates of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC).
