View Rule

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) plans to revise 49 CFR part 800, which contains a description of the organization and functions of the NTSB, as well as several delegations of authority to various NTSB employees. The NTSB will propose to update these delegations by including delegated duties the NTSB has realized part 800 should contain. In addition, the NTSB’s proposed revisions will include new sections or subparts, to include items such as continuation of operations provisions, internal handling of information, and rulemaking procedures. The proposed updates to part 800 will modernize the regulations as needed. The NTSB will issue an NPRM applicable to certain proposed subparts, and a notice for rule changes that involve only internal agency matters. These activities follow a notice the NTSB published in the Federal Register in June 2012, which indicated the NTSB would review all NTSB regulations and amend them to ensure they are up-to-date, in accordance with Executive Orders 13563 and 13579.
