National Criminal History Improvement Program (NCHIP)

The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) is publishing this notice to announce the initiation of the National Criminal History Improvement Program (NCHIP) in Fiscal Year 1995. The grant program implements the grant provisions of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act and the National Child Protection Act of 1993, and those provisions of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, as amended, and Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 which pertain to the establishment, maintenance, or use of criminal history records and criminal record systems. This program announcement describes procedures applicable to awards to be made under the NCHIP program during FY 1995. A program announcement applicable to funding appropriated for years after FY 1995 will reflect comments received during the intervening time. Updated guidelines governing use of Byrne Formula funds pursuant to the 5% set- aside established under Section 509 of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, as amended, will be issued shortly by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), in consultation with BJS. The Byrne Guidelines should be considered together with this program announcement
