MHCC Authority to Recommend Standards
Under 42 U.S.C. 5403, the Manufactured Housing Consensus Committee (MHCC) provides recommendations to the Secretary to adopt, revise, and interpret Federal manufactured housing construction and safety standards and related procedural and enforcement regulations. Those recommendations can lead to changes in construction, safety, or enforcement rules that affect builders and buyers of manufactured homes.
