The National Transportation Safety Board developed this inventory of its public website content as required by Section 207(f)(2) of the E-Government Act of 2002 (enacted as Pub. L. No. 107-347 (2002)). The purpose of Section 207(f)(2) is to improve the methods by which Government information, including information on the Internet, is organized, preserved, and made accessible to the public. More information on this requirement can be found on the National Archives and Records Administration Web site .

Section 207(f)(2) of the E-Government Act of 2002 requires each agency to:

Establish a process for determining what information will be made available on the Internet and by other means;
Develop priorities and schedules for making that information available;
Make those priorities and schedules available for public comment;
Post the priorities and schedules on the Web site; and
Report the priorities in their annual report to OMB on implementing the E-Government Act.

The information presented below is intended to be a comprehensive outline of the desires and needs of citizens as a whole and of the agency’s intended audiences. The NTSB has reviewed frequently requested information or services that would improve business processes and/or customer service to the public in developing this inventory.
