SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed information collection
previously published in the Federal Register on September 14, 2021, at
86 FR 51177 with a 60-day public comment period. No comments were
received. The purpose of this notice is to notify the public that FEMA
will submit the information collection abstracted below to the Office
of Management and Budget for review and clearance.
This package is a revision to the collection titled the Threat and
Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (THIRA)--Stakeholder
Preparedness Review (SPR) Unified Reporting Tool under OMB Control
Number 1660-0131. The Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of
2006 (PKEMRA) (Pub. L. 109-295), as amended by the Implementing
Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-53),
established an annual requirement for the 56 states and territories to
submit a State Preparedness Report, at 6 U.S.C 752(c). Because this
reporting now includes States, Tribes, territories, and urban areas,
FEMA has revised the name of the collection as the Stakeholder
Preparedness Review (SPR). States, Tribes, territories, and urban areas
receiving non-disaster preparedness grant funds administered by DHS
submit the SPR annually, and this encompasses the requirements of the
previous State Preparedness Report, while reflecting the updated
methodology reporting needs. The legislation requires a report on
current capability levels and a description of targeted capability
levels from all States, Tribes, territories, and urban areas receiving
non-disaster preparedness grant funds administered by DHS. Each report
must also include a discussion of the extent to which target
capabilities identified in the applicable state homeland security plan
and other applicable plans are unmet, and an assessment of resources
needed to meet the preparedness priorities established under 6 U.S.C.
752(c), including: (i) An estimate of the amount of expenditures
required to attain the preparedness priorities; and (ii) the extent to
which the use of Federal assistance during the preceding fiscal year
achieved the preparedness priorities. To meet this requirement, States,
Tribes, territories, and urban areas first identify capability targets
through THIRA and then assess against these targets in the SPR. Through
the SPR, these jurisdictions estimate their current capabilities,
identify and describe gaps between current capabilities and targets,
indicate their intended approach for addressing gaps in the future, and
report on the impact of Federal grant dollars in building and
sustaining capabilities. It is also important to note that completing
the THIRA and SPR are allowable expenses under the grant awards.
