Abstract: HUD collects this information to establish a manufactured housing dispute resolution program for states that choose not to operate their own dispute resolution programs. Form HUD-310-DRSC allows a state to certify that its state dispute resolution program meets the program requirements. Form HUD-311-DR allows persons who have initiated their participation in the federal dispute resolution program to submit the necessary information regarding their request to the federal program for further action There are two groups of respondents. The first group is the 50 states; the second group consists of individual purchasers, manufacturers, retailers, and installers of manufactured housing. HUD has engaged dispute resolution professionals from various federal agencies to review the submissions and then possibly contact the submitting party or agency, and to act as neutrals, mediators, and arbitrators.

Short Statement: This is a revision of a currently approved collection. The Office of Manufactured Housing Programs (OMHP) has received fewer (a decrease in) dispute resolution requests (Form HUD-311-DR) from homeowners and industry respondents over time due to industry diligence in complaint handling. In addition, OMHP has increased monitoring of manufacturers and oversight of installation programs to ensure quality homes are built and installed; thereby reducing the number of complaints and subsequent requests for dispute resolution.
