(b) Any manufacturer who wishes to
					 manufacture and ship factory-built housing in accordance with the provisions
					 set forth in the reciprocal agreements between any state and the State of

					 qualifications.

					 shall be obtained from the department or design approval agency for each model
					 of factory-built housing which is to be manufactured under reciprocal agreement
					 with another state. Where the department is the plan approval agency, fees

					 California under a reciprocal agreement shall be inspected during construction
					 solely by the department. Inspection fees shall be as specified in Section
