Sec. 4113. Review of plans


(a) Review and notice

                             (1) Review

        The Secretary shall conduct a limited review of each Indian 
    housing plan submitted to the Secretary to ensure that the plan 
    complies with the requirements of section 4112 of this title. The 
    Secretary shall have the discretion to review a plan only to the 
    extent that the Secretary considers review is necessary.

                             (2) Notice

        The Secretary shall notify each Indian tribe for which a plan is 
    submitted and any tribally designated housing entity for the tribe 
    whether the plan complies with such requirements not later than 60 
    days after receiving the plan. If the Secretary does not notify the 
    Indian tribe, as required under this subsection and subsection (b) 
    of this section, the plan shall be considered, for purposes of this 
    chapter, to have been determined to comply with the requirements 
    under section 4112 of this title and the tribe shall be considered 
    to have been notified of compliance upon the expiration of such 60-
    day period.

(b) Notice of reasons for determination of noncompliance

    If the Secretary determines that a plan, as submitted, does not 
comply with the requirements under section 4112 of this title, the 
Secretary shall specify in the notice under subsection (a) of this 
section the reasons for the noncompliance and any modifications 
necessary for the plan to meet the requirements under section 4112 of 
this title.

(c) Review

    After submission of the Indian housing plan or any amendment or 
modification to the plan to the Secretary, to the extent that the 
Secretary considers such action to be necessary to make determinations 
under this subsection, the Secretary shall review the plan (including 
any amendments or modifications thereto) to determine whether the 
contents of the plan--
        (1) set forth the information required by section 4112 of this 
    title to be contained in an Indian housing plan;
        (2) are consistent with information and data available to the 
    Secretary; and
        (3) are not prohibited by or inconsistent with any provision of 
    this chapter or other applicable law.

If the Secretary determines that any of the appropriate certifications 
required under section 4112(c)(5) of this title are not included in the 
plan, the plan shall be deemed to be incomplete.

(d) Updates to plan

    After a plan under section 4112 of this title has been submitted for 
an Indian tribe for any fiscal year, the tribe may comply with the 
provisions of such section for any succeeding fiscal year (with respect 
to information included for the 5-year period under section 4112(b) of 
this title or the 1-year period under section 4112(c) of this title) by 
submitting only such information regarding such changes as may be 
necessary to update the plan previously submitted. Not less than once 
every 5 years, the tribe shall submit a complete plan.

(e) Effective date

    This section and section 4112 of this title shall take effect on the 
date provided by the Secretary pursuant to section 4116(a) of this title 
to provide for timely submission and review of Indian housing plans as 
necessary for the provision of assistance under this chapter in fiscal 
year 1998.
