    (a) Each approved State shall establish a monitoring inspection fee 

in an amount required by the Secretary. This fee shall be an amount paid 

by each manufactured home manufacturer



[[Page 240]]



in the State for each transportable section of each manufactured housing 

unit produced by the manufacturer in that State. In non-approved and 

conditionally-approved States, the fee shall be set by the Secretary.

    (b) The monitoring inspection fee shall be paid by the manufacturer 

to the Secretary or to the Secretary's Agent, who shall distribute a 

portion of the fees collected from all manufactured home manufacturers 

among the approved and conditionally-approved States in accordance with 

an agreement between the Secretary and the States and based upon the 

following formula:

    (1) $9.00 of the monitoring inspection fee collected for each 

transportable section of each new manufactured housing unit that, after 

leaving the manufacturing plant, is first located on the premises of a 

dealer, distributor, or purchaser in that State; plus

    (2) $2.50 of the monitoring inspection fee collected for each 

transportable section of each new manufactured housing unit produced in 

a manufacturing plant in that State.

    (c) A portion of the monitoring inspection fee collected also shall 

be distributed by the Secretary or the Secretary's Agent based on the 

extent of participation of the State in the Joint Team Monitoring 

Program set out in Sec.  3282.308.

    (d) To assure that a State devotes adequate funds to carry out its 

State Plan, a State may impose an additional reasonable inspection fee 

to offset expenses incurred by that State in conducting inspections. 

Such fee shall not exceed that amount which is the difference between 

the amount of funds distributed to the State as provided in paragraph 

(b) of this section and the amount necessary to cover the costs of 

inspections. Such fee shall be part of the State Plan pursuant to Sec.  

3282.302(b) (11) and (12) and shall be subject to the approval of the 

Secretary pursuant to Sec.  3282.305.

    (e) The Secretary may establish by notice in the Federal Register a 

monitoring inspection fee which is to be paid by manufacturers for each 

transportable section of each manufactured housing unit manufactured in 

nonapproved and conditionally approved States as described in Sec.  

3282.210. To determine the amount of the inspection fee to be paid for 

each transportable section of each manufactured home, the Secretary 

shall divide the (estimated) number of transportable sections of 

manufactured homes (based on recent industry production figures) into 

the anticipated aggregate cost of conducting the inspection program in 

the foreseeable feature. The time period selected for projecting the 

Department's inspection-related costs and number of transportable 

sections need not always be the same, but must be for a period of 

sufficient duration to provide for access to reasonable underlying data. 

To determine the aggregate cost of conducting the inspection program, 

the Secretary shall calculate the sum necessary to support:

    (1) Inspection-related activities of State Administrative Agencies;

    (2) Inspection-related activities performed by the Department of 

Housing and Urban Development;

    (3) Inspection-related activities performed by monitoring inspection 

contractors;

    (4) Miscellaneous activities involving the performance of 

inspection-related activities by the Department, including on-site 

inspections on an ad hoc basis; and

    (5) Maintenance of adequate funds to offset short-term fluctuations 

in costs that do not warrant revising the fee under the authority of 

this section.

    (f) The Secretary may at any time revise the amount of the fees 

established under paragraph (a) or (e) of this section by placing a 

notice of the amount of the revised fee in the Federal Register.
