68914 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 223 / Wednesday, November 19, 2014 / Notices 

Following the report, NIJ now seeks 

an objective demonstration of the 

reliability of firearms available today 

with advanced gun safety technology 

integrated into the firearm through a 

forthcoming Gun Safety Technology 

Challenge (‘‘Challenge’’). The reliability 

of firearms with integrated advanced 

safety technologies has been cited as a 

concern regarding the potential 

performance and user acceptance of 

products that may incorporate such 

technologies, as discussed in the report. 

It is anticipated that the results of the 

Challenge will provide a basis to 

improve the general understanding of 

whether the addition of a smart gun 

technology does or does not 

significantly reduce the reliability of the 

firearm system compared to existing 

firearms. It is believed that this 

Challenge will be the first effort to apply 

a methodology to provide a rigorous and 

scientific assessment of the technical 

performance characteristics of these 

types of firearms. 

Manufacturers and developers of 

‘‘smart guns’’ are encouraged to respond 

to this notice to help determine the 

number of firearm products that are at 

a commercial or pre-commercial level of 

maturity that could reasonably be 

considered safe to carry out testing with 

live ammunition. Qualified interested 

parties will be able to submit at a later 

time their products for testing and 

evaluation by a third-party testing entity 

capable of assessing the performance 

characteristics of firearms through the 

Challenge. NIJ has partnered with the 

U.S. Army Aberdeen Test Center (ATC) 

to perform firearm testing and 

evaluation. While response to this 

notice is not a prerequisite for 

participation in the forthcoming 

Challenge, the information provided 

here would permit NIJ and ATC to 

better assess whether the products or 

technologies are viable from a testing 

perspective. The types of firearms that 

can reasonably be expected to be within 

the scope of the Challenge include 

pistols, revolvers, rifles, and shotguns, 

or accessories that can modify those 

types of firearms. 

The proposed testing and evaluation 

in the forthcoming Challenge will 

notionally proceed in an escalated 

manner in three stages. Stage 1 will be 

an information review. Participants will 

deliver a white paper describing their 

product or technology and will be 

encouraged to provide any available test 

data to substantiate claims regarding 

performance or reliability. Stage 2 will 

involve single product testing. 

Participants will deliver two firearms or 

firearm accessories with integrated gun 

safety technology for initial testing to 

confirm that the product performs at a 

minimum performance level. Testing 

would be limited to a thorough 

inspection and tests tending toward 

more light duty real-world use. 

Participants will need to provide a 

safety assessment report to ensure that 

their products are safe for testing 

personnel to handle and operate. Stage 

3 will involve expanded product testing. 

Participants will deliver additional 

units for testing to boost the sample 

size. This stage will be reserved for 

mature products that are demonstrated 

to perform at a minimum performance 

level determined by Stage 2 testing with 

Stage 3 tests tending toward more heavy 

duty real-world use. More rounds of 

ammunition will be used per unit tested 

with additional environmental tests to 

characterize functionality and durability 

under different conditions. 

The test procedures used in the 

Challenge will be selected or designed 

to better understand the impact of smart 

gun technology on the reliability of the 

firearm, which may include different 

authentication technologies like radio 

frequency identification and fingerprint 

sensors. Test procedures shall be 

applicable to any firearm or firearm 

accessory eligible for entry into the 

Challenge, which will be informed in 

part by the response to this notice. 

Failure definitions and scoring criteria 

that can be used to draw conclusions 

regarding the performance of the 

participating firearms or firearms 

accessories will be developed according 

to established guidelines already in use 

for reliability applications in U.S. Army 

and Joint Service systems. It is also 

anticipated that manufacturers or 

developers of ‘‘smart guns’’ will be 

invited at a later time to participate in 

a voluntary informational workshop as 

a part of the Challenge. Response to this 

notice is not a prerequisite for 

participation in the forthcoming 

Challenge.

BILLING CODE 4410–18–P 

NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS 

ADMINISTRATION 

[NARA–2015–012] 

Records Schedules; Availability and 

Request for Comments 

AGENCY: National Archives and Records 

Administration (NARA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability of 

proposed records schedules; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The National Archives and 

Records Administration (NARA) 

publishes notice at least once monthly 

of certain Federal agency requests for 

records disposition authority (records 

schedules). Once approved by NARA, 

records schedules provide mandatory 

instructions on what happens to records 

when no longer needed for current 

Government business. They authorize 

the preservation of records of 

continuing value in the National 

Archives of the United States and the 

destruction, after a specified period, of 

records lacking administrative, legal, 

research, or other value. Notice is 

published for records schedules in 

which agencies propose to destroy 

records not previously authorized for 

disposal or reduce the retention period 

of records already authorized for 

disposal. NARA invites public 

comments on such records schedules, as 

required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a). 

DATES: Requests for copies must be 

received in writing on or before 

December 19, 2014. Once the appraisal 

of the records is completed, NARA will 

send a copy of the schedule. NARA staff 

usually prepare appraisal 

memorandums that contain additional 

information concerning the records 

covered by a proposed schedule. These, 

too, may be requested and will be 

provided once the appraisal is 

completed. Requesters will be given 30 

days to submit comments. 

ADDRESSES: You may request a copy of 

any records schedule identified in this 

notice by contacting Records 

Management Services (ACNR) using one 

of the following means: 

Mail: NARA (ACNR), 8601 Adelphi 

Road, College Park, MD 20740–6001 

Email: request.schedule@nara.gov 

FAX: 301–837–3698 

Requesters must cite the control 

number, which appears in parentheses 

after the name of the agency which 

submitted the schedule, and must 

provide a mailing address. Those who 

desire appraisal reports should so 

indicate in their request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year 

Federal agencies create billions of 

records on paper, film, magnetic tape, 

and other media. To control this 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 223 / Wednesday, November 19, 2014 / Notices 68915 

accumulation, agency records managers 

prepare schedules proposing retention 

periods for records and submit these 

schedules for NARA’s approval. These 

schedules provide for the timely transfer 

into the National Archives of 

historically valuable records and 

authorize the disposal of all other 

records after the agency no longer needs 

them to conduct its business. Some 

schedules are comprehensive and cover 

all the records of an agency or one of its 

major subdivisions. Most schedules, 

however, cover records of only one 

office or program or a few series of 

records. Many of these update 

previously approved schedules, and 

some include records proposed as 

permanent. 

The schedules listed in this notice are 

media neutral unless specified 

otherwise. An item in a schedule is 

media neutral when the disposition 

instructions may be applied to records 

regardless of the medium in which the 

records are created and maintained. 

Items included in schedules submitted 

to NARA on or after December 17, 2007, 

are media neutral unless the item is 

limited to a specific medium. (See 36 

CFR 1225.12(e).) 

No Federal records are authorized for 

destruction without the approval of the 

Archivist of the United States. This 

approval is granted only after a 

thorough consideration of their 

administrative use by the agency of 

origin, the rights of the Government and 

of private persons directly affected by 

the Government’s activities, and 

whether or not they have historical or 

other value. 

Besides identifying the Federal 

agencies and any subdivisions 

requesting disposition authority, this 

public notice lists the organizational 

unit(s) accumulating the records or 

indicates agency-wide applicability in 

the case of schedules that cover records 

that may be accumulated throughout an 

agency. This notice provides the control 

number assigned to each schedule, the 

total number of schedule items, and the 

number of temporary items (the records 

proposed for destruction). It also 

includes a brief description of the 

temporary records. The records 

schedule itself contains a full 

description of the records at the file unit 

level as well as their disposition. If 

NARA staff has prepared an appraisal 

memorandum for the schedule, it too 

includes information about the records. 

Further information about the 

disposition process is available on 

request.
