FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Leiloni Stainsby, Section Chief—
Assessments Branch, FEMA, National
Preparedness Assessment Division, at
202–786–9737. You may contact the
Records Management Division for
copies of the proposed collection of
information at email address: FEMAInformation-Collections-Management@
fema.dhs.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
package is a revision to the collection
originally approved as the State
Preparedness Report, OMB Control
Number: 1660–0131. FEMA is updating
the name of this collection from ‘‘State
Preparedness Report’’ to the ‘‘Threat
and Hazard Identification and Risk
Assessment (THIRA)—State
Preparedness Report (SPR) Unified
Reporting Tool’’ to reflect more
accurately the information and method
of collection. The Post-Katrina
Emergency Management Reform Act of
2006 (PKEMRA), as amended by the
Implementing Recommendations of the
9/11 Commission Act of 2007,
established an annual requirement for
the 56 States and territories to submit a
State Preparedness Report (SPR).
PKEMRA requires a report on current
capability levels and a description of
targeted capability levels from all States
and territories receiving non-disaster
preparedness grant funds administered
by the Department of Homeland
Security. 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 and territories first identify
capability targets through the Threat
and Hazard Identification and Risk
Assessment (THIRA) and then assess
against these targets in the SPR. It is also
important to note that the only
allowable expenses under the grant
awards are for completing the THIRA/
SPR and THIRA.
FEMA holds annual after-action calls
every January. All state and local
jurisdictions that complete the THIRA/
SPR are invited to participate and
provide feedback on the collection
process. FEMA uses this after-action
process to gather feedback on the utility
of the information and on how the
burden can be further reduced.
Participation in these calls is voluntary.
FEMA estimates that the time it takes to
participate in and respond to the
THIRA/SPR After Action Conference
Calls is one hour per respondent for a
total of 123 hours.
