Federal Register. The approved applicants were required to submit a
preliminary MTW plan, to hold a public hearing for citizens comments
and to seek residents' comments on the MTW plan

demonstration, and description and analyses of the effect of HA's
activities in addressing the objectives of the MTW plan. Section 204 of
the Omnibus Consolidated Rescissions and Appropriations Act of 1996
