States Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of public meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: NIST invites stakeholders (manufacturers, law enforcement,
corrections, academia, military, test instrument manufacturers, etc.)
of electroshock weapons that provide stand-off delivery of an electric
shock to attend a public meeting. The purpose of the meeting is to
discuss the need for standardized methods of testing the proper
operation and performance of ESWs as well as other issues important to
the stakeholder community. Attendance is limited to 45 and registration
will be conducted on a first-come first-served basis. Teleconferencing
will also be available and also requires pre-registration.
DATES: The public meeting will be held on Friday, 21 January 2011 from

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cindy Stanley at 301-975-2756 or by e-
mail at cindy.stanley@nist.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To support the development of rigorous
performance requirements for electroshock weapons, the Law Enforcement
Standards Office (OLES) at NIST has developed methods to measure the
current and high-voltage output of these weapons, to calibrate these
measurement methods, and to compute measurement uncertainties.
All visitors to the NIST site are required to pre-register to be
admitted. Anyone wishing to attend this meeting must register by close
of business Friday, 14 January 2011. Please contact Cindy Stanley with
your interest to participate and, pending availability of space, she
