Nominee Selection and Appointment 

Members of the MHCC are appointed

following categories: 

1. Producers—Seven individuals from 

producers or retailers of manufactured

representing consumer interests, such as 

consumer organizations, recognized 

consumer leaders, and owners who are

The Act provides that the Secretary 

shall ensure that all interests directly 

and materially affected by the work of 

the MHCC have the opportunity for fair 

and equitable participation without 

dominance by any single interest. The 

Secretary may reject the appointment of 

any one or more individuals to ensure 

that there is not dominance by any 

single interest. For purposes of this 

determination, dominance is defined as 

a position or exercise of dominant 

authority, leadership, or influence by 

reason of superior leverage, strength, or 

representation. 

Additional requirements governing 

appointment and member service 

include: 

(1) Nominees appointed to the User 

category and three of the individuals 

appointed to the General Interest and 

Public Official category shall not have a 

significant financial interest in any 

segment of the manufactured housing 

industry or a significant relationship to 

any person engaged in the manufactured 

housing industry. 

(2) Each member serving in the User 

category shall be subject to a ban 

disallowing compensation from the 

manufactured housing industry during 

the period of, and during the one year 

following, his or her membership on the 

MHCC. 

(3) Nominees selected for 

appointment to the MHCC shall be 

required to provide disclosures and 

certifications regarding conflict-ofinterest and eligibility for membership 

prior to finalizing an appointment. 

All selected nominees will be 

required to submit certifications of 

eligibility under the foregoing criteria, 

as a prerequisite to final appointment. 

Consensus Committee—Advisory Role 

The MHCC’s role is solely to advise 

the Secretary on the subject matter 

described above. 

Federal Advisory Committee Act 

The MHCC is subject to the 

requirements of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (5 U.S.C. Ch. 10), 41 CFR 

part 102–3 (the FACA Final Rule), and 

to the Presidential Memorandum, dated 

June 18, 2010, directing all heads of 

executive departments and agencies not 

to make any new appointments or 

reappointments of federally registered 

lobbyists to advisory committees and 

other boards and commissions. The June 

18, 2010, Presidential Memorandum 

authorized the Director of the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to issue 

guidance to implement this policy. On 

August 13, 2014, OMB issued guidance 

regarding the prohibition against 

appointing or re-appointing federally 

registered lobbyists to clarify that the 

ban applies to persons serving on 

advisory committees, boards, and 

commissions in their individual 

capacity and does not apply if they are 

specifically appointed to represent the 

interests of a nongovernmental entity, a 

recognizable group of persons or 

nongovernmental entities (an industry 

sector, labor unions, environmental 

groups, etc.), or state or local 

governments (79 FR 47482). 

Term of Office 

MHCC members serve at the 

discretion of the Secretary or for a threeyear term, up to two terms. 

Nominee Information 

Individuals seeking nomination to the 

MHCC should submit detailed 

information documenting their 

qualifications as addressed in the Act 

and this Notice. In furtherance of 

Executive Order 14035, Executive Order 

on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and 

Accessibility in the Federal Workforce 

(86 FR 34593), HUD seeks for the MHCC 

to reflect the diversity of stakeholders in 

the housing market. The nomination 

website listed above, therefore, contains 

questions to elicit demographic 

information. Nominees may briefly 

summarize why they want to be a 

member of the MHCC and include 

unique skills, knowledge, and 

experiences that they would bring to 

inform the work of the committee. 

Individuals may nominate themselves. 

HUD recommends that the application 

for nomination be accompanied by a 

resume. 

Additional Information 

The Department will make 

appointments and reappointments from 

nominations submitted in response to 

this Notice. To be considered for 

appointment to a position of an MHCC 

member whose term will expire in 

December of 2023 or to fill any MHCC 

vacancy that currently exists, the 

application must be submitted by March 

11, 2024. Appointments will be made at 

the discretion of the Secretary.

the IMS/PIC and the Housing 

Information Portal (HIP) system, add 

three new routine uses and a new 

collection authority. The updates are 

explained in the ‘‘Supplementary 

Section’’ of this notice. The system

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Housing Information Portal (HIP) system 

will replace, enhance, and augment the 

functionality currently performed by 

Inventory Management System and 

Public and Indian Housing Information 

Center (IMS/PIC), while reducing the 

administrative burden on Public 

Housing Authorities (PHAs) for 

providing information to HUD through 

a new form/data submission 

mechanism. HIP is a modernized, 

flexible, scalable, internet-based 

integrated system, which enables PHA, 

Tribe/Tribally Designated Housing 

Entities (TDHE) and HUD users to 

access a common database of affordable 

housing information via the internet. 

IMS/PIC and HIP will operate in parallel 

until such time as HIP is able to fully 

replace IMS/PIC. The enhanced 

technology used by the HIP system will 

also enable critical new policy 

initiatives, including the expansion of 

the Moving to Work (MTW) Expansion 

program mandated by the 2016 

Consolidated Appropriations Act and 

several programmatic changes resulting 

from the Housing Opportunities 

Through Modernization Act of 2016 

(HOTMA). HUD is publishing this 

notice to amend and replace the current 

system of records titled as IMS/PIC with 

one that encompasses both the IMS/PIC 

and HIP systems, add three new routine 

uses to the Routine Use Section and add 

to the collection authority section 

published in the Federal Register on 

March 25, 2019, at 84 FR 11117. The 

three new additions to the Routine Uses 

section allow for sharing of data with 

Universal Service Administrative 

Company (USAC)/Federal 

Communications Commission (FCC) to 

establish eligibility for benefits 

administered by USAC for families 

which also participate in a HUD rental 

assistance program, and to any Federal, 

State, or local agency to verify the 

accuracy and completeness of the 

eligibility data for HUD rental assistance 

program, and HUD to enter into 

cooperative agreements and other types 

of agreements for the purposes of 

statistical analysis and research in 

support of program operations. The 

addition to the collection authority 

covers the data collected by Tribes/ 

TDHE and their-hired management 

agents and entered HIP via the Tribal 

HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive 

Housing (VASH) reporting tool. The 

changes also include an update to the 

name of the system manager.

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM: 

IMS/PIC and HIP serve as a national 

repository of information related to 

PHAs, Tribally Designated Housing 

Entities (TDHE), HUD-assisted families, 

HUD assisted properties, and other HUD 

programs, for the purpose of monitoring 

and evaluating the effectiveness of PIH 

rental housing assistance programs. 

IMS/PIC and HIP allow PHAs, TDHEs, 

and their-hired management agents to 

electronically submit information to 

HUD that is related to the 

administration of HUD’s PIH programs. 

They collect data for PIH operations, 

including data submitted via the 

internet from HUD’s field offices, and 

accurately tracks activities and 

processes. IMS/PIC and HIP also help to 

increase sharing of information 

throughout PIH and HUD, which 

improves staff awareness of activities 

related to the administration of HUD 

subsidized housing programs. IMS/PIC 

and HIP are flexible, scalable, internetbased integrated systems, which enables 

PHA and TDHE users, and HUD 

personnel to access a common database 

via their web browser. IMS/PIC and HIP 

aids HUD and entities that administer 

HUD’s assisted housing programs in: (a) 

Increasing the effective distribution of 

rental assistance to individuals that 

meet the requirements of Federal rental 

assistance programs; (b) detecting 

abuses in assisted housing programs; (c) 

taking administrative or legal actions to 

resolve past and current abuses of 

assisted housing programs; (d) 

monitoring compliance with HUD 

program requirements; (e) deterring 

abuses by verifying the employment and 

income of tenants at the time of annual 

and interim reexaminations of family 

income and composition via the PIH 

Enterprise Income Verification (EIV) 

system; (f) evaluating program 

effectiveness; (g) improving PHA and 

TDHE IMS/PIC and HIP reporting rates; 

(h) forecasting budgets; (i) controlling 

funds; (j) updating tenant information; 

and (k) updating building and unit data. 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM:
