SUMMARY: An Informal Presentation of Views pursuant to 24 CFR

injunctive action under section 612(a) of the National Manufactured
Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act, 42 U.S.C. 5410(a), on
the issue of whether Summerset Homes, Inc. and David Leers have

and with manufactured homes that are manufactured and sold in violation
of the Act, regulations, and standards.
DATES: An informal presentation of views pursuant to 24 CFR 3282.152(f)
will commence at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, March 23, 1994, and, if additional
time is needed, will continue on the next day commencing at 10 a.m., in

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
G. Robert Fuller, Special Assistant to the Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Single Family Housing, room 9184, 451 7th Street, SW., Washington,
DC 20410. Telephone: (202) 708-4549.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Secretary of Housing and Urban
Development (Secretary) administers the National Manufactured Housing
Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974, 42 U.S.C. 5401 et seq.
(the Act) and its regulations, 24 CFR part 3282, and standards, 24 CFR
part 3280. The Office of Manufactured Housing and Regulatory Functions
has been conducting an investigation of Summerset Homes, Inc. and David
Leers due to information received indicating that Summerset Homes, Inc.
and David Leers may have built manufactured homes in violation of the
Act, regulations and standards. The Department has received information
and evidence indicating that Summerset Homes, Inc. and David Leers may
have built park model and modular unit combinations which are actually
manufactured homes but are not built in accordance with the Act and
standards. In addition, the evidence indicates that Summerset Homes,
Inc. and David Leers may have built manufactured homes mated with
modular units which are integral to the manufactured homes but are not
built in accordance with the Act and standards.
The Secretary is now considering whether there have been violations
of the Act, regulations, and standards such that this case should be
referred for injunctive action and other relief. Prior to deciding to
make this referral, the Secretary is providing Summerset Homes, Inc.
and David Leers with the opportunity to present their views pursuant to
section 612(a) of the Act and to present any evidence which they
believe is relevant to the inquiry.
The parties to this Presentation of Views are the Secretary,
Summerset Homes, Inc. and David Leers. The Informal Presentation of
Views will be held in accordance with the provisions of 24 CFR
3282.152(f). Mr. G. Robert Fuller is hereby designated the presiding
officer for the proceeding. All inquiries concerning this proceeding
should be directed to Mr. Fuller. The Presentation of Views will
commence at 3 p.m. on March 23, 1994, and, if additional time is
needed, will continue on the next day commencing at 10 a.m., in room
10257, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 7th Street,
SW., Washington, DC 20410.
In determining that the requirements of 24 CFR 3282.152 shall apply
in this matter, the Secretary has considered the factors set forth at
24 CFR 3282.152(c)(4).
As provided for by 24 CFR 3282.153, interested persons may
participate in writing in the Informal Presentation of Views, and the
presiding officer shall, to the extent practicable, consider any such
written materials. Interested persons may participate in the oral
portion of the Informal Presentation of Views unless the presiding
officer determines that participation should be limited or barred so as
not to unduly prejudice the rights of the parties involved or
unnecessarily delay the proceedings.
Dated: March 7, 1994.

Assistant Secretary for Housing--Federal Housing Commissioner.
