Reproduction of Materials from the NTSB Web Site and Publications
TEXT:
Text appearing on NTSB Web pages, in reports,
recommendation, and public dockets, unless otherwise noted, was
prepared by employees of the United States Government as part of
their official duties and, therefore, is not subject to copyright.
By publishing its reports and recommendations and opening public
dockets, the NTSB has placed the contents prepared by its staff
in the public domain. This material may be freely copied and, at
your discretion, credited to the NTSB with a "Courtesy: National
Transportation Safety Board" notation. The Board requests that
uses of its material be accurate and complete.
If copyrighted text is included on an NTSB Web page, in the docket, or in an NTSB publication, it should be specifically identified. Use by the NTSB of copyrighted material and publication on the NTSB Web site or in a printed report or other type of document does not constitute permission for the public to use the material without complying with copyright laws. It is the user's responsibility to contact copyright holders and obtain permission to use the material.
GRAPHICS:
Permission to use and or reproduce the NTSB logo and the Seal of
the NTSB is granted on a case by case basis. See 49 CFR 803. Granting
permission to use or reproduce the NTSB logo and/or Seal of the NTSB
does not explicitly or implicitly convey NTSB's endorsement of the
site, publication or circumstance where it will be used by a requester.
Once a requester receives confirmation from the NTSB that the Logo/NTSB
shield may be used, the requester may, at his or her discretion, credit
NTSB with a "Courtesy: National Transportation Safety Board" notation.
Alternatively, graphics which involve photographs, illustrations, and other pictorial materials and images found on the NTSB Web site, except where copyrighted, were prepared or created by the personnel of the NTSB and their publication indicates that the NTSB has placed them in the public domain.
In the case of copyrighted photographs, illustrations or other pictorial materials and images, although the NTSB may have placed the image in an NTSB public domain report, recommendation or other document, the NTSB's use does not constitute permission for the public, in turn, to use the material without complying with copyright laws. It is the user's responsibility to contact copyright holders and obtain permission to use the material. Therefore, with the exception of photographs, illustrations, and other pictorial materials and images created by the NTSB, copyrighted photographs, illustrations and other pictorial materials and images found on the NTSB web site should not be reused without permission.
