NTSB ISSUES PROPOSED RULES ON INVESTIGATIVE PROCEDURES
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) issues a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend its regulations regarding investigative procedures (49 CFR part 831). Proposed changes include reorganizing Part 831 into mode-specific subparts, as follows:
Subpart A: General (applicable to all investigations)
Subpart B: Aviation Investigations
Subpart C: Highway Investigations
Subpart D: Railroad, Pipeline, and Hazardous Materials Investigations
Subpart E: Marine Investigations
NTSB also proposes to include its Certification of Party Representatives form as an appendix to Part 831.
Comments are due on or before October 14, 2014. If you have any questions regarding the proposed rules or would like help in preparation or submission of comments, please contact our office.
