Safety equipment

So its been a few years since I have run at gateway and had a few questions on safety equipment.

I know for a car with an aftermarket turbo/nitrous/supercharger a single layer fire jacket and a DOT helmet was required. I have a feeling this has changed, but I cant seem to find the info in the NHRA rule book(not quite sure which section). What are the current rules for running FI at the track for test and tune.

i've ran my turbo civic at the last 2 test and tunes. no one has told me anything about a firejacket yet. i asked a track worker about having to wear a helmet, and he said anything quicker than a 13.99 you'll need one. i ran a 13.8 without one and nothing was said.
