Official Seal Description
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is amending its regulatory description of the agency's seal. Since the seal's inception, the agency has utilized various versions of the seal. For consistency, the agency is updating the regulation and codifying current agency practice. These updates will provide a revised graphical representation of the seal. Additionally, the NTSB is including non- substantive technical amendments throughout part 803 due to recent internal organizational changes and a typographical error reflected in the agency's mailing address. Since publishing the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), no comments have been received.
Authority of NTSB in Railroad, Pipeline, and Hazardous Materials Investigations

The issues raised in the comments submitted in response to this ANPRM will inform whether and how the NTSB will define this term in its regulation.
