The Independent Monitoring Commission (IMC) has delivered its latest report to Minister for Justice Michael McDowell and Northern Secretary Peter Hain.
The two governments are expected to make the politically-sensitive report public on Wednesday, coinciding with the introduction of emergency legislation at Westminster to enable the restoration of the Assembly.
The report, the IMC's 10th on paramilitary activity, refers to the six months from last September, and covers the period following last July's statement from the IRA that it had ended its campaign and the decommissioning of weapons in September.
The findings will be acutely politically sensitive in the context of the two governments' efforts to restore the Stormont institutions, and the placing of a deadline of November 24th for progress.
If an executive is not agreed by the DUP and Sinn Féin, Mr Hain has said the Assembly will be dissolved, elections postponed indefinitely and Assembly members' salaries and allowances stopped.
"It's up to them," Mr Hain told GMTV in an interview to be broadcast tomorrow.
"We can't continue as we are and we won't. The deadline on November 24th, which will be in the new emergency bill . . . will make it clear that that's that . . . there's no extending the deadline.
"Faced with that reality, I hope the politicians will say we actually want to do the job that we were elected for."
