89.7 right out of the AISC 7th Edition.
 
Plastic section modulus is just another section property like area, elastic section modulus, or MOI, and is independent of any section properties.
 
...I guess in a stretch you could say that it is dependent on the yield of the material because if you have a non-homogeneous (hybrid) beam then the plastic modulus has no meaning.
 
Toad,

I made the same mistake as you, thought the OP was asking for Plastic Moment Capacity instead of Plastic Section Modulus...sorry.
