SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This package is an extension 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. States,
territories, urban areas, and Tribes 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,
territories, urban areas, and Tribes 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 PKEMRA Section
646(e), 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,
territories, urban areas, and Tribes 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.
