“Formaldehyde Standards for Composite Wood Products Act” Update

By / October 30, 2018 / Manufactured Housing Institute

This week, the House Energy and Commerce Committee approved, the “Formaldehyde Standards for Composite Wood Products Act” (HR 4805), a bill that would require all finished wood products to comply with California’s CARB standard for formaldehyde emissions by 2012. MHI was successful in having the bill amended to provide that HUD as opposed to EPA would continue to regulate formaldehyde standards for manufactured housing. It requires the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to update regulations on formaldehyde emission controls for certain wood products used in construction of manufactured homes to ensure that they reflect the formaldehyde emission standards established by this Act. At MHI’s urging, the legislation states that the effective date for manufactured and modular homes shall be based on a designated date of manufacture of the finished good, rather than a “sell-by” date whereby all existing inventory which does not comply with CARB must be sold.

MHCC at Brink of Destruction as HUD Attempts to Render it Irrelevant

By / October 30, 2018 / Manufactured Housing Institute

I. MEETING OVERVIEW AND ANALYSIS

The cumulative impact of years of mismanagement of the HUD manufactured housing program under its prior leadership was on full display as the Manufactured Housing Consensus Committee (MHCC) met on April 28-30, 2010 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Building on a series of actions initiated and advanced by HUD during the past several years, the role, authority, functionality and independence of the MHCC has, for now, been replaced by de facto HUD domination, in both procedure and substance. These actions, designed to effectively transform the MHCC into a rubber stamp for the HUD program — similar to the former National Manufactured Housing Advisory Council disbanded by Congress as part of the Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000 and replaced with the MHCC — culminated at the Tulsa meeting
