Department sponsoring the collection:
There is no agency form number for this
collection. The applicable component
within the Department of Justice is the
National Institute of Justice, Office of
Justice Programs.
4. Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: Applicants to the NIJ
Compliance Testing Program and
Testing Laboratories, which are
businesses or other for-profit
organizations. The purpose of the
voluntary NIJ Compliance Testing
Program is to provide confidence that
equipment used for law enforcement
and corrections applications meets
minimum published performance
requirements. One type of equipment is
ballistic body armor. Ballistic body
armor models that are determined to
meet minimum requirements by NIJ and
listed on the NIJ Compliant Products
List are eligible for reimbursement
through the Ballistic Vest Partnership.
5. An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: As of December 31, 2018,
approximately 1,250 unique ballistic
armor models have been submitted to
the NIJ CTP by approximately 300
companies for compliance testing since
OMB Number 1121–0321 was issued in
2009. Approximately one third of the
companies that submitted armor are not
based in the U.S., however only U.S.
companies will be considered for the
purpose of estimating the burden on the
public. Therefore, a total of 200
responses is estimated for the following
three forms over several years:
NIJ CTP Applicant Agreement:
Estimated 100 responses at 15 minutes
every year (and 50 responses per year
after that);
NIJ CTP Authorized Representatives
Notification: Estimated 100 responses at
15 minutes every year (and 50 responses
per year after that);
NIJ CTP Electronic Signature
Agreement: Estimated 100 responses at
15 minutes every year (and 50 responses
per year after that).
Each time a new armor model is
submitted to the NIJ CTP for testing, the
following four forms must be
completed. Respondents may submit as
many armor models as they choose to
the NIJ CTP and are therefore not
limited to only one response. The
number of overall submissions over the
past decade roughly translates to 125
unique ballistic armor models tested per
year. A fraction of those armors are
submitted by companies not based in
the U.S., however only U.S. companies
will be considered for the purpose of
estimating the burden on the public.

Therefore, a total of 100 responses is
estimated for the following four forms
per year:
NIJ CTP Body Armor Agreement:
Estimated 100 responses at 15 minutes
every year;
NIJ CTP Body Armor Build Sheet:
Estimated 100 responses at 2 hours
every year;
NIJ CTP Manufacturing Location
Notification: Estimated 100 responses at
15 minutes each every year;
NIJ CTP Listee Notification: Estimated
100 responses at 15 minutes every year;
Testing laboratories provide responses
to the laboratory agreement form and are
therefore considered respondents in this
case. There are currently four
laboratories that participate in the NIJ
CTP. Laboratories renew their status
with the NIJ CTP roughly every two
years.
NIJ Approved Laboratory Application
and Agreement: Estimated 4 responses
at 8 hours every two years, or a total of
16 hours on average per year.
6. An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: 366 hours the first year and
328.5 hours per year in subsequent
years.
