SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NCHIP program was initiated in 1995 as 
an umbrella program encompassing evolving efforts to support State 
activities relating to the establishment of records systems and the 
collection and use of criminal history and related records. The goal of 
the NCHIP award program is to improve the Nation's public safety by 
enhancing the quality, completeness and accessibility of the Nation's 
criminal history and sex offender record systems and the extent to 
which such records can be used and analyzed for criminal justice and 
authorized noncriminal justice purposes.
    A total of $44,000,000 was appropriated under the Crime 
Identification Technology Act in FY 2001 to cover NCHIP activities. 
Each eligible State and territory must submit an application by May 31, 
2001 to be considered for funding from the FY 2001 appropriation. NCHIP 
awards are expected to be made by September 30, 2001.

    Dated: April 6, 2001.

Acting Director, Bureau of Justice Statistics.
