WASHINGTON—The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) issued a final rule delaying the July 1, 2025, deadline for compliance with energy-conservation standards for manufactured housing. Manufacturers of multi-section homes will now have 180 days from the publication of corresponding enforcement procedures to comply with DOE standards.
“This rulemaking fulfills our commitment to lift the excessive pressure imposed on the manufactured housing industry by the previous administration,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Lou Hrkman. “The Department is working hard to provide the American people some relief as we work toward a permanent regulatory framework that benefits both consumers and manufacturers.”
On April 22, 2025, DOE issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and solicited public feedback on the proposal to extend the compliance deadline. Having finalized the rulemaking, DOE will gather feedback from manufacturers, ensure industry stakeholders understand its enforcement procedures, and consider its next deregulatory action.
