To require approval from the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for any Federal manufactured home and safety standards, and for other purposes.

This bill gives the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) primary authority to set federal construction and safety standards for manufactured homes. Any other federal agency that wants to set such a standard would have to send a proposal to the HUD Secretary and could not set the standard without the Secretary's approval. The Secretary must reject a proposed standard if it would significantly raise the cost of producing manufactured homes, if it conflicts with existing HUD standards, or for any other reason the Secretary finds appropriate. The bill also adds energy efficiency to the definition of what these standards cover, and it does not require HUD to create new or revised standards.
