In addition to these crucial points, the Center -- citing MHARR materials published in the industry trade journal, MHProNews – echoes serious concerns over anti-competitive effects resulting from the DOE proposed rule. Pointing to an Executive Order issued by the President on April 15, 2016, instructing federal agencies to "eliminat[e] regulations that create barriers to or limit competition" and statutory law re- quiring agencies to consider "the impact of any lessening of competition … that is likely to re- sult from the imposition of the standard" before any standard is finalized, the Center calls on DOE to "pay particular attention to the prospective effects of its proposed rule on com- petition within the MH market." MHARR commends these organizations for filing comments on the proposed MH energy rule and for highlighting serious (and, in fact, fatal defects) in the proposed rule and its sup- posed cost-benefit analysis that have either been ignored, glossed-over, or distorted by DOE (in a rulemaking process marred by leaks, discrepancies and non-transparency) and the proposed rule's special interest supporters. MHARR, as has been its consistent posi- tion, is committed to opposing the adoption of the DOE proposed rule in its current form, and will closely monitor future activity in this rule- making for aggressive follow-up as warranted.
