          - [OJP (NIJ) Docket No. 1685]

# AGENCY:

National Institute of Justice, DOJ.

# ACTION:

Notice.

# SUMMARY:

                        The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) announces publication of                         *Selection and Application Guide to Ballistic-Resistant Body Armor for Law Enforcement, Corrections and Public Safety,*                         NIJ Selection and Application Guide-0101.06. The document can be found here:                         *https://www.ncjrs.gov/​pdffiles1/​nij/​247281.pdf.*                         NIJ has developed this document to provide guidance concerning the selection, procurement, use, care and maintenance, and other considerations related to ballistic-resistant body armor. NIJ Guide-0101.06 is a companion document to NIJ Standard-0101.06,                         *Ballistic Resistance of Body Armor.*

                        The previous guide published by NIJ on body armor, NIJ Guide 100-01,                         *Selection and Application Guide to Personal Body Armor,*                         was released in 2001. NIJ Guide-0101.06 incorporates new knowledge about ballistic-resistant armor that has been gained in the intervening 13 years as the result of both NIJ-funded research and research funded by others. Whereas NIJ Guide 100-01 deals with both ballistic- and stab-resistant armor, NIJ Guide-0101.06 deals only with ballistic-resistant armor. It supersedes those portions of NIJ Guide 100-01 that deal with ballistic-resistant armor. It does not supersede those portions that deal with stab-resistant armor. A separate guide on stab-resistant armor will be published when NIJ Standard-0115.00,                         *Stab Resistance of Personal Body Armor,*                         is updated. For more information about NIJ standards, please visit                         *http://nij.gov/​standards.*
