SEC. 104. MANUFACTURED HOUSING ENERGY EFFICIENCY. (a) Amendments to Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act.—Section 943(d)(1) of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act (Public Law 101–625; 109 Stat. 4413) is amended— (1) in subparagraph (D), by striking “thermal insulation, energy efficiency”; (2) by redesignating subparagraphs (E), (F), (G), and (H) as subparagraphs (F), (G), (H), and (I), respectively; and (3) by inserting after subparagraph (D) the following new subparagraph: “(E) consult with the Secretary of Energy and make recommendations regarding additional or revised standards for thermal insulation and energy efficiency applicable to manufactured housing;” . (b) Duties of the Secretary.—The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall assess the energy performance of manufactured housing and make recommendations to the National Commission on Manufactured Housing established under section 943 of the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act regarding any thermal insulation and energy efficiency improvements applicable to manufactured housing which are technologically feasible and economically justified. The Secretary shall also test the performance and determine the cost effectiveness of manufactured housing constructed in compliance with the standards established under such section. (c) Exception to Federal Preemption.—If the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development has not issued, within 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, final regulations pursuant to section 604 of the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5403) that establish thermal insulation and energy efficiency standards for manufactured housing that take effect before January 1, 1995, then States may establish thermal insulation and energy efficiency standards for manufactured housing if such standards are at least as stringent as thermal performance standards for manufactured housing contained in the Second Public Review Draft of BSR/ASHRAE 90.2P entitled “Energy Efficient Design of Low-Rise Residential Buildings” and all public reviews of Independent Substantive Changes to such document that have been approved on or before the date of the enactment of this Act.
