View Rule

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) plans to issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) revising several parts in 49 CFR, chapter VIII:

Part 802 - Rules Implementing the Privacy Act of 1974;

Part 806 - National Security Information Policy and Guidelines; Implementing Regulations; and

Part 807 - Enforcement of Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Handicap in Programs or Activities Conducted by the NTSB.

Part 830 - Notification and Reporting of Aircraft Accidents or Incidents and Overdue Aircraft, and Preservation of Aircraft Wreckage, Mail, Cargo, and Records; and

Part 840 - Rules Pertaining to Notification of Railroad Accidents.

The NPRM follows 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. The NTSB intends to update terms and citations, and rephrase and reorganize the regulations to improve clarity.
