Armor (2000) Standard Special 

Technical Committee Request for 

Proposals for Certification and Testing 

Expertise 

AGENCY: National Institute of Justice, 

DOJ. 

ACTION: Request for Proposals for 

Certification and Testing Expertise. 

SUMMARY: The National Institute of 

Justice (NIJ) is in the process of revising 

its Stab Resistance of Personal Body 

Armor (2000) Standard and 

corresponding certification program 

requirements. This work will be 

performed by a Special Technical 

Committee (STC), comprised of 

practitioners from the field, researchers, 

testing experts, certification experts, and 

representatives from stakeholder 

organizations. It is anticipated that the 

STC members will participate in up to 

twelve 2-day meetings over an 18-month 

time period with the goal of completing 

development of the standard and 

certification program requirements. 

It is anticipated that STC meetings 

will begin in June 2011. Travel expenses 

and per diem will be reimbursed for all 

STC meetings; however, participation 

time will not be funded. NIJ is seeking 

representatives from (1) certification 

bodies and (2) test laboratories with 

experience in programs for similar types 

of personal protective equipment. 

Additional preferred knowledge 

includes experience with law 

enforcement and corrections operations. 

There are up to four positions to be 

filled on the STC, and NIJ will accept 

the first 20 submissions for review. 

Interested parties are requested to 

nominate individuals from their 

organizations and submit no more than 

two pages describing the nominee’s 

applicable experience, preferred 

knowledge, and affiliations with 

standards development organizations. 

To be considered, there must not be any 

conflict of interest in which the 

proposed STC member has a direct 

financial relationship with 

manufacturers of stab-resistant armor. 

Debra Stoe is the NIJ Program 

Manager responsible for this work, and 

Casandra Robinson is the point of 

contact for Ms. Stoe. Responses to this 

request for proposals shall be submitted 

to Casandra Robinson at 

casandra.robinson@usdoj.gov by May 

13, 2011. The submissions will be 

reviewed, and participants will be 

notified regarding their acceptance by

applicable supporting documentation; 

including a description of the likely 

respondents, proposed frequency of 

response, and estimated total burden 

may be obtained from the RegInfo.gov 

Web site, http://www.reginfo.gov/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

information collection activity will 

garner qualitative customer and 

stakeholder feedback in an efficient, 

timely manner, in accordance with the 

Administration’s commitment to 

improving service delivery. By 

qualitative feedback we mean 

information that provides useful 

insights on perceptions and opinions, 

but are not statistical surveys that yield 

quantitative results that can be 

generalized to the population of study. 

This feedback will provide insights into 

customer or stakeholder perceptions, 

experiences and expectations, provide 

an early warning of issues with service, 

or focus attention on areas where 

communication, training or changes in 

operations might improve delivery of 

products or services. These collections 

will allow for ongoing, collaborative, 

and actionable communications 

between the DOL and its customers and 

stakeholders. It will also allow feedback 

to contribute directly to the 

improvement of program management. 

Feedback collected under this generic 

clearance will provide useful 

information, but it will not yield data 

that can be generalized to the overall 

population. This type of generic 

clearance for qualitative information 

will not be used for quantitative 

information collections that are 

designed to yield reliably actionable 

results, such as monitoring trends over 

time or documenting program 

performance. Such data uses require 

more rigorous designs that address: The 

target population to which 

generalizations will be made, the 

sampling frame, the sample design 

(including stratification and clustering), 

the precision requirements or power 

calculations that justify the proposed 

sample size, the expected response rate, 

methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data 

collection, and any testing procedures 

that were or will be undertaken prior 

fielding the study. Depending on the 

degree of influence the results are likely
