scope of the NIJ CTP’s conformity 

assessment activities in the future. More 

information on this standard can be 

found here: https://nij.ojp.gov/standard0123-00. 

The NIJ CTP is a body armor 

certification program that provides 

personnel working in U.S. law 

enforcement and correctional agencies 

confidence that the body armor they 

purchase and use performs according to 

minimum performance requirements to 

protect against common handgun and 

rifle threats as well as stab threats. The 

NIJ CTP produces a Compliant Products 

List (CPL) of armor models that meet 

program requirements, which includes 

compliance with NIJ Standard 0101.06. 

Currently, there are over 400 models of 

ballistic-resistant body armor listed on 

NIJ’s CPL for armor compliant with NIJ 

Standard 0101.06 (‘‘06’’ CPL). The CPL 

for ballistic-resistant body armor can be 

found here: https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/ 

equipment-and-technology/body-armor/ 

ballistic-resistant-armor. 

With the publication of NIJ Standard 

0101.07, the NIJ CTP will begin an 

orderly transition from testing new body 

armor models for compliance with NIJ 

Standard 0101.06 to testing for 

compliance with NIJ Standard 0101.07. 

Given the large number of fielded 

ballistic-resistant armor models 

currently worn by law enforcement 

officers, the NIJ CTP anticipates 

maintaining the ‘‘06’’ CPL through at 

least the end of calendar year 2027. The 

NIJ CTP may opt to continue support of 

the ‘‘06’’ CPL for longer should the need 

arise. 

The NIJ CTP will stop accepting 

applications for new body armor models 

for testing for compliance with NIJ 

Standard 0101.06 on January 5, 2024, at 

5:00 p.m. Eastern time. New body armor 

models submitted on or before this date 

that meet program requirements will be 

added to the ‘‘06’’ CPL, however, no 

new models of armor will be added to 

the ‘‘06’’ CPL after the last models 

submitted are adjudicated through the 

NIJ CTP process. Furthermore, any 

actively listed armor models that are 

removed or withdrawn from the ‘‘06’’ 

CPL will not be reinstated to active 

status, effective immediately. All armor 

models listed on the ‘‘06’’ CPL will be 

subject to Follow-up Inspection Testing 

(FIT) for as long as the ‘‘06’’ CPL is 

published. 

The NIJ CTP will begin accepting 

applications for new body armor models 

for testing for compliance with NIJ 

Standard 0101.07 in 2024. Commercial 

entities interested in participating in the 

NIJ CTP must first register in the Testing 

Information Management System 

(TIMS) and complete an Applicant 

Agreement. TIMS can be accessed 

through the following web page: https:// 

cjtec.org/compliance-testing-program/ 

testing-information-managementsystem/. 

The NIJ CTP will host an 

informational online webinar that will 

offer a guided tour of TIMS prior to 

opening the system for registration. The 

date and time of the webinar, as well as 

instructions on how to attend, will be 

published on the TIMS web page above. 

Commercial entities interested in 

participating in the NIJ CTP are strongly 

encouraged to attend the webinar. NIJ 

anticipates that commercial entities may 

begin registering in TIMS after the 

webinar is held. The exact date that 

commercial entities can register in 

TIMS, as well as instructions on how to 

use TIMS, will be displayed on the 

TIMS web page above. 

The NIJ CTP anticipates allowing 

commercial entities that have registered 

in TIMS and completed an Applicant 

Agreement to submit new body armor 

models for testing for compliance with 

NIJ Standard 0101.07 in the middle of 

April 2024. The exact date that new 

armor models can be submitted will be 

displayed on the TIMS homepage on 

April 1, 2024. The NIJ CTP anticipates 

that it will take several months for the 

first wave of body armor models to be 

certified to the new program 

requirements, with a new CPL for armor 

models compliant with NIJ Standard 

0101.07 (‘‘07’’ CPL) subsequently 

published. 

Ballistics laboratories interested in 

participating in the NIJ CTP to test 

armor in accordance with NIJ Standard 

0101.07 must communicate their 

interest by email to the contact listed 

above as soon as possible so that 

appropriate program requirements can 

be met in a timely manner. Information 

on program requirements for laboratory 

participation in the NIJ CTP can be 

found here: https://cjtec.org/ 

compliance-testing-program/nijapproved-test-laboratories/. NIJ 

encourages ballistics laboratories to 

check the above web page regularly for 

updates. 

NIJ plans to hold an in-person 

workshop for body armor manufacturers 

to discuss implementation of NIJ 

Standard 0101.07 and NIJ Standard 

0123.00 through the NIJ CTP. 

Information about this workshop will be 

published separately in the Federal 

Register.

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM: 

Records in this system are used by 

NASA to facilitate processes and 

procedures associated with the 

recruitment, evaluation, and selection of 

United States astronaut candidates, as 

defined in 14 CFR part 1214, subpart 

1214.11 (NASA Astronaut Candidate 

Recruitment and Selection Program). 

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE

SYSTEM: 

This system maintains information on 

persons who have applied to the agency 

for consideration as candidates for and 

recipients of training associated with 

NASA Astronaut and Human Space 

Flight Programs. 

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: 

Records in this system include 

identifying information for the 

individuals in employment applications 

and resumes and records of specialized 

training, honors and awards. The system

United States Office of Personnel 

Management (OPM), and into which 

applicants enter their own application 

data. Candidate Qualification input is 

received directly from individuals used 

as references who have direct 

knowledge of applicant capabilities. In 

certain circumstances, updates to this 

information may be submitted by the 

individual on whom the record is 

maintained and/or the NASA Personnel
