§ 801.36 - Surface transportation accident reports.

Any surface transportation accident investigated by the Board, and certain marine accidents investigated by the U.S. Coast Guard, shall result in a formal Board report. Such report shall provide the facts, conditions, circumstances, and the Board's determination of cause or probable cause of the accident. Reports of accidents investigated by the Board shall be issued approximately 6 months after the date of accident. After notice of issuance appears in the Federal Register, as required by section 304 (a)(2) of the Independent Safety Board Act of 1974, the report shall be made available for public inspection in the Board's public reference room.
