A public housing agency shall use the same salary structure as described in this paragraph and follow the requirements of uniform administrative rules for Federal grants and cooperative agreements and principles and standards for determining costs for Federal awards for all payments that it makes to its employees and for personnel hired as contractors when funds provided under this Act are used for such payments.

The salary structure provided in subparagraph (B)(i) shall be subject to any requirements that may be established for the General Schedule by an appropriations Act or by Presidential executive order for any Federal fiscal year.
