            The Secretary shall conduct a review of a housing plan 
        submitted to the Secretary under section 4223 of this title to 
        ensure that the plan complies with the requirements of that 
        section.

        (B) Limitation

            The Secretary shall have the discretion to review a plan 
        referred to in subparagraph (A) only to the extent that the 
        Secretary considers that the review is necessary.

                             (2) Notice

        (A) In general

            Not later than 60 days after receiving a plan under section

        the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands whether the plan complies 
        with the requirements under that section.

        (B) Effect of failure of Secretary to take action

            For purposes of this subchapter, if the Secretary does not 
        notify the Director, as required under this subsection and 
        subsection (b) of this section, upon the expiration of the 60-
        day period described in subparagraph (A)--
                (i) the plan shall be considered to have been determined 
            to comply with the requirements under section 4223 of this 
            title; and
                (ii) the Director shall be considered to have been 
            notified of compliance.

(b) Notice of reasons for determination of noncompliance

    If the Secretary determines that a plan submitted under section 4223 
of this title does not comply with the requirements of that section, the

section--
        (1) the reasons for noncompliance; and
        (2) any modifications necessary for the plan to meet the 
    requirements of section 4223 of this title.

(c) Review

                           (1) In general

        After the Director of the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands 
    submits a housing plan under section 4223 of this title, 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 a determination under this subsection, the Secretary shall 
    review the plan (including any amendments or modifications thereto) 
    to determine whether the contents of the plan--
            (A) set forth the information required by section 4223 of 
        this title to be contained in the housing plan;
            (B) are consistent with information and data available to 
        the Secretary; and
            (C) are not prohibited by or inconsistent with any provision 
        of this chapter or any other applicable law.

                        (2) Incomplete plans

        If the Secretary determines under this subsection that any of 
    the appropriate certifications required under section 4223(c)(2)(E) 
    of this title are not included in a plan, the plan shall be 
    considered to be incomplete.

(d) Updates to plan

                           (1) In general
