National Fire Protection Association Contracts with Danner & Associates In July, 2003, the National Fire Protection Association "(NFPA") contracted with Danner & Associates to draft the proposed revisions to the National Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards ("the Standards" or HUD Code"), codified at 24 CFR Part 3280, in proposed rule format for publication in the Federal Register. Prior to the passage of the Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000, which amended the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5401-5426) ("the Act"), the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") had designated the NFPA to undertake a consensus process to develop recommendations for new manufactured housing standards. The Department received recommendations for revisions to the Standards which were proposed pursuant to the NFPA's consensus process. After the passage of the 2000 amendments to the Act, the Department, in accordance with the mandates of the Act, entered into a contract with NFPA to administer the consensus standards development process, to be undertaken by the Manufactured Housing Consensus Committee (MHCC). Pursuant to the Act, the Secretary appointed the twenty-one voting members of the MHCC and the one nonvoting member to represent the Secretary. The MHCC held its first meeting in August of 2002 and began work on reviewing the recommendations submitted to HUD previously from the NFPA. The MHCC developed a priority standards revision list and approved, as part of the new consensus standards development process under the Act, proposed amendments to the Standards which were submitted to the Secretary of HUD for publication as a proposed rule.
