an RMC's report of its action to correct a deficiency.

    (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 

PHA's score in each of the indicators identified as a problem in a PHA's 

or RMC's management assessment, or other relevant areas identified as

    (e) The State/Area Office will approve or deny a PHA's or RMC's 

Improvement Plan, and notify the PHA of its decision. A PHA must notify 

the RMC in writing, immediately upon receipt of the State/Area Office 

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.
