NOTE

At the request of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the U.S. Census
Bureau is conducting this survey. The Census Bureau will release and publish only statistical
aggregates, which do not reveal the operations of individual dealers. Copies of the published
results will be available on request.

FROM THE DIRECTOR
U.S. CENSUS BUREAU
The Census Bureau requests your participation in the survey of new manufactured homes,
conducted for the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Office of
Management and Budget has approved this survey and given it an 8-digit control number,
which is shown in the upper right-hand corner of this form. If this number was not displayed
we could not request your participation.
For the manufactured home identified in Section I on the back of this form, please complete
Sections II through IV, as needed. Manufacturers, suppliers, developers, and lenders use the
results of this voluntary survey to make more informed decisions concerning industry
production, investment, and financing.
We will contact you to obtain your information within a few days. If you
prefer, you may fax the form to us toll-free at 1–800–274–0761 or mail the
form to us in the enclosed postage-paid return envelope. If you choose to
mail or fax the form, please remember to retain a copy of this form for your
records.
We recognize that providing this information is a burden. To help minimize the burden, we
request information for only a sample of homes shipped by manufacturers and provide the
option of a toll-free response. The law that authorizes this survey (Title 13, United States
Code) requires that we keep your report strictly confidential. We will release and publish only
statistical aggregates, which do not reveal the operations of individual dealers.
If you have any questions, please contact the Census Bureau staff on 1–800–845–8249.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

We estimate that it will take from 15 to 25 minutes to complete this questionnaire and provide
answers to our representative when called, with 20 minutes being the average time. If you have
any comments regarding these estimates or any other aspect of this survey, including
suggestions for reducing the burden, send them to: Paperwork Project 2528-0029, U.S. Census
Bureau, 4600 Silver Hill Road, AMSD-3K138, Washington, DC 20233-1500. You may e-mail
comments to Paperwork@census.gov; use "Paperwork Project 2528-0029" as the subject. This
agency may not collect this information, and you are not required to complete this form, unless it
displays a current valid Office of Management and Budget control number.

AFTER COMPLETING THE REVERSE SIDE, PLEASE FAX,
MAIL OR RETAIN THIS FORM FOR A TELEPHONE INTERVIEW.
