States and territories should review and, if necessary, revise and update the THIRA by December 31 on an annual basis. Further details on the THIRA as it relates to EMPG Program requirements can be found in Appendix A — FY 2016 EMPG Program Priorities. For additional guidance on THIRA, please refer to Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 201, Second Edition, available at https : / /www.fema.gov /threat- and - hazard- identification- and - risk - assessment. State Preparedness Report (SPR) Section 652(c) of the Post - Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006 (Pub. L. No. 109 -295), 6 U.S.C. §752(c), requires any state that receives federal preparedness assistance to submit an SPR (OMB Control Number: 1660 -0131) to FEMA. States submitted their most recent SPRs by December 31 annually, thus satisfying this requirement to receive funding under the FY 2016 EMPG Program. Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) Recipients must update their EOP at least once every two years to comply with Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101 v.2, Developing and Maintaining Emergency Operations Plans. Recipients will use the SPR to communicate their compliance with this reporting requirement. Biannual Strategy Implementation Reports (BSIR) In addition to the Quarterly Performance Progress Reports, recipients are responsible for completing and submitting BSIR reports. The BSIR is due within 30 days of the end of the reporting period (July 30 for the reporting period of January 1 through June 30 (the summer BSIR); and January 30 for the reporting period of July 1 through December 31 (the winter BSIR). Updated obligations and expenditure information must be provided within the BSIR to show progress made toward meeting strategic goals and objectives as well as how expenditures support Planning, Organization, Equipment, Training and Exercise (POETS) activities. Accordingly, expenditures should support gaps identified in the recipient's THIRA and SPRs. FY 2016 Unified Reporting Tool (URT) The URT is FEMA's collection mechanism for THIRA /SPR and other related preparedness information. The FY 2016 SPR includes questions related to NIMS adoption and implementation, and CPG 101 v 2.0 compliance. Information on the URT, to include when recipients will receive the tool and how to use the tool, will be sent to recipients in summer 2016. Closeout Reporting Requirements FEMA will close out the grant award when it determines that all applicable administrative actions and all required work of the EMPG Program award have been completed by the recipient. This section summarizes the actions that the recipient must take to complete the closeout process in accordance with 2 C.F.R. § 200.343 at the end of the grant's period of performance or the expiration of an approved extension via Grant Adjustment Notice (GAN) issued to close out the grant.
