to revise the name of its Personal Body
Armor LAP to the Law Enforcement and
Corrections Equipment LAP in order to
better encompass the scope of this
program. NVLAP has also received a
request to expand the technology tested
under this program to include rifle
testing, helmet testing and shield
testing. NIST seeks feedback from the
public on these proposed revisions.
DATES: Comments must be received by
5 p.m. Eastern Time on April 19, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Comments on the proposed
revisions must be submitted to: Chief,
National Voluntary Laboratory
Accreditation Program, 100 Bureau
Drive, Stop 2140, Gaithersburg, MD
20899–2140 or by sending email to
nvlap@nist.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Dana S. Leaman, Chief, NIST/NVLAP,
100 Bureau Drive, Stop 2140,
Gaithersburg, MD 20899–2140, Phone:
(301) 975–4016 or email: dana.leaman@
nist.gov. Information regarding NVLAP
and the accreditation process can be
obtained from https://www.nist.gov/
nvlap.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
NIST administers NVLAP under
regulations found in 15 CFR part 285.
NVLAP provides an unbiased thirdparty evaluation and recognition of
laboratory performance, as well as
expert technical assistance to upgrade
that performance, by accrediting
calibration and testing laboratories
found competent to perform specific
calibrations or tests. NVLAP is
comprised of a set of LAPs which are
established on the basis of requests and
demonstrated need. Each LAP includes
specific calibration and/or test
standards and related methods and
protocols assembled to satisfy the
unique needs for accreditation in the
field of calibration, field of testing,
product or service. Under NVLAP’s
Procedures and General Requirements,
available at https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/
nistpubs/hb/2020/NIST.HB.1502020.pdf, the Chief of NVLAP (Chief)
may seek input from interested parties
when proposed modifications to a LAP
are analyzed.
The NVLAP Personal Body Armor
LAP was established in 2006 at the
request of the U.S. Department of Justice
(DOJ) National Institute of Justice (NIJ)
Office of Science and Technology. The
LAP was developed to accredit
laboratories for body armor testing in
support of the NIJ Compliance Testing
Program (CTP). Presently, the LAP
encompasses accreditation of ballisticresistant body armor testing, stab-

resistant body armor testing, and
autoloading pistol testing. Based on the
requests for modification to the Personal
Body Armor LAP, the Chief has
preliminarily determined that revision
of the program name to the Law
Enforcement and Corrections
Equipment LAP is supported by the
program stakeholder and the
laboratories accredited in the current
program. Additionally, the Chief has
preliminarily determined that there is
also support to expand testing in the
program to include rifle testing, helmet
testing and shield testing.
II. Request for Comments
NVLAP solicits comments on whether
(a) the additional tests or calibrations,
types of tests or calibrations, or
standards requested are directly relevant
to the LAP; (b) it is feasible and
practical to accredit testing or
calibration laboratories for the
additional tests or calibrations, types of
tests or calibrations, or standards; and
(c) it is likely that laboratories will seek
accreditation for the additional tests or
calibrations, types of tests or
calibrations, or standards. NVLAP also
specifically invites comments on: (a)
Whether the proposed change to the
name of the laboratory accreditation
program will better reflect the testing
encompassed under the LAP; and (b)
whether the addition of accreditation for
rifle testing, helmet testing and shield
testing will support the NIJ’s CTP as it
relates to the performance and safety of
equipment for use in law enforcement
and corrections applications.
After analyzing the public comments,
the Chief shall publish a Federal
Register notice regarding a decision on
whether the LAP will be revised.
Authority: 15 U.S.C. 272(b) & (c).
Kevin A. Kimball,
Chief of Staff.
