    (c) If the State/Area Office determines that a PHA or RMC has not 
corrected a deficiency as required within 90 calendar days after receipt

deficiencies as may be identified as a result of an on-site review of 
the PHA's operations.
    (d) An Improvement Plan shall:
    (1) Identify baseline data, which should be raw data but may be the

notification, of the State/Area Office approval or denial of the RMC's 
Improvement Plan.
    (f) An Improvement Plan that is not approved will be returned to the 
PHA with recommendations from the State/Area Office for revising the 
Improvement Plan to obtain approval. A revised Improvement Plan shall be 
resubmitted by the PHA or RMC within 30 calendar days of its receipt of 
the State/Area Office recommendations.
    (g) If a PHA or RMC fails to submit an acceptable Improvement Plan, 
or to correct deficiencies within the time specified in an Improvement 
Plan or such extensions as may be granted by HUD, the State/Area Office 
will notify the PHA of its or the RMC's noncompliance. The PHA, or the 
RMC through the PHA, will provide HUD its reasons for lack of progress 
in submitting or carrying out the Improvement Plan within 30 calendar 
days of its receipt of the noncompliance notification. HUD will advise 
the PHA as to the acceptability of its reasons for lack of progress and, 
if unacceptable, will notify the PHA that it will be subject to 
sanctions provided for in the ACC and HUD regulations.
