Sec. 903.4  What are the public housing agency plans?

    (a) Types of plans. There are two public housing agency plans. They 
are:
    (1) The 5-Year Plan (the 5-Year Plan) that a public housing agency 
(PHA) must submit to HUD once every five PHA fiscal years. The 5-Year 
Plan covers the five PHA fiscal years immediately following the date on 
which the 5-Year Plan is due to HUD; and
    (2) The Annual Plan (Annual Plan) that the PHA must submit to HUD 
for each fiscal year immediately following the date on which the Annual 
Plan is due to HUD and for which the PHA receives:
    (i) Section 8 tenant-based assistance (under section 8(o) of the 
U.S. Housing Act of 1937, 42 U.S.C. 1437f(o)) (tenant-based assistance); 
or
    (ii) Amounts from the public housing operating fund or capital fund 
(under section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g) 
(public housing)).
    (b) Format. HUD may prescribe the format of submission (including 
electronic format submission) of the plans. HUD also may prescribe the 
format of attachments to the plans and documents related to the plan 
that the PHA

does not submit but may be required to make available locally. PHAs will 
receive appropriate notice of any prescribed format.
    (c) Applicability. The requirements of this subpart only apply to a 
PHA that receives the type of assistance described in paragraph (a) of 
this section.
    (d) Authority for waivers. In addition to the waiver authority 
provided in Sec. 5.110 of this title, the Secretary may, subject to 
statutory limitations, waive any provision of this title on a program-
wide basis, and delegate this authority in accordance with section 106 
of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 
(42 U.S.C. 3535(q)) where the Secretary determines that such waiver is 
necessary for the effective implementation of this part.
