States will provide <br />consolidated information to ODP in their BSIR, which will serve as the reporting format <br />of the biannual Categorical Assistance Progress Reports (CAPR). The BSIR is due <br />within 30 days after the end of the reporting period (Julv 31 with a reporting period of <br />January 1 through June 30, and on Januarv 31 with a reporting period of July 1 through <br />December 31). Updated obligation and expenditure information must be provided with <br />BSIRs to show progress made in meeting strategic goals and objectives. ODP will <br />provide a web-enabled application for BSIR submission to grantees. Future awards and <br />fund drawdowns may be withheld if these reports are delinquent. The final BSIR is due <br />120 days after the end date of the award period. See Appendix D: Guidance for <br />ISIPIBSIR for additional information. <br /> <br />Required Submissions: BSIR (biannually). <br /> <br />Exercise Evaluation and Improvement <br />Exercises implemented with grant funds should be threat- and performance-based and <br />should evaluate performance of critical prevention and response tasks required to <br />respond to the exercise scenario. Guidance on conducting exercise evaluations and <br />implementing improvement is defined in the HSEEP Volume II: Exercise Evaluation and <br />Improvement located at http://www.oip.usdoj,qov/odp/docs/HSEEPv2.pdf. The SAA <br />must report on scheduled exercises and ensure that an AAR and Improvement Plan (IP) <br />are prepared for each exercise conducted with ODP support (grant funds or direct <br />support) and submitted to ODP within 60 days following completion of the exercise. <br /> <br />The AAR documents the performance of exercise related tasks and makes <br />recommendations for improvements. The IP outlines the actions that the exercising <br />jurisdiction(s) plans to take to address recommendations contained in the AAR. <br />Generally, the IP, with at least initial action steps, should be included in the final AAR. <br />ODP is establishing a national database to facilitate the scheduling of exercises, the <br />submission of the AAR/IPs and the tracking of IP implementation. Guidance on <br />development of AARs and IPs is provided in Volume II of the HSEEP manuals. <br /> <br />Financial and Compliance Audit Report <br />Recipients that expend $500,000 or more of federal funds during their fiscal year are <br />required to submit an organization-wide financial and compliance audit report.
