Subject: Red Flags Rule Enforcement to Begin 12-31-10

After several delays, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will begin enforcement of the Red Flags Rule on December 31, 2010. The attached memo provides guidance for manufactured home land-lease communities and retailers. MHI has discussed issues related to communities and retailers with FTC staff and believes that the information contained in the memo reflects how communities and retailers are impacted by the Red Flags Rule. However, the policies developed by MHI members should be reflective of their specific business needs and practices, and should involve legal counsel.
Resources mentioned in the memo are available on MHI’s Web site at: http://www.manufacturedhousing.org/lib/showtemp_detail.asp?id=374&cat=retailer
