NTSB — National Transportation Safety Board

Parent: Independent federal agency (transportation accident investigation). Domains in this note: ntsb.gov.

What they regulate

NTSB independently investigates transportation accidents and issues safety recommendations across aviation, highway, rail, marine, and pipeline modes. It does not license brokers, carriers, or pilots. Use FAA, FMCSA, FRA, PHMSA, or Coast Guard/maritime paths for authority — not NTSB dockets.

Always prefer the live .gov site over a third-party mirror. Index ≠ endorsement.

How to verify

  1. NTSB home — Independent accident investigations and safety recommendations — not a licence register.
  2. NTSB investigations — Safety findings are not FMCSA MC authority or FAA economic certificates.
