a new BTTF unit or to expand an existing BTTF unit in a given region,

is established and biannually thereafter for the following six years, 
the Secretary shall submit to the Committee on Homeland Security of the 
House of Representatives and the Committee on Homeland Security and 
Governmental Affairs of the Senate a report that--
