To prepare for your RPA report,
1) Go to www.cbfish.org and log in,
2) Navigate to your project and select "BiOp Annual Report" from the “Go to...” menu button,
3) Click on "Input Needed" for each applicable RPA to find your RPA reporting requirements so you will know how much time to set aside for this task. You may also click the “download RPA doc” button to get all RPA questions in one MS Word document.
4). For further guidance or to request help, email BPA RM&E RPA support RMESupport@bpa.gov or email your COR.

(Milestone start/end: December 31 - March 15)
Submit BiOp RPA Report in cbfish.org
Required
Yes
The online BiOp RPA report in cbfish.org (https://www.cbfish.org/BiologicalOpinionAction.mvc/Index/2014/BiOpRpaStatus) should include the data, analyses, and data management completed no later than December 31st. Any activity after the last day of the Calendar Year should be included in a subsequent BiOp report. For example, if you have completed redd surveys, but have not completed the scale analyses, you will report the preliminary data (# of redds), but not (incomplete) age distributions of carcasses, which would be reported in the subsequent CY report.

For each RPA, follow the directions in cbfish.org for each of the three sections and, input completed graphical or tabular data, accompanied by any complete explanatory text. These are cumulative summary reports and should show relevant results for the life of your project. Each year, note trends and whether they are changing from one year (or groups of years) to the next.
