As of June 1, 2009, all accident investigation public dockets are available on the National Transportation Safety Board’s (NTSB) public website (www.ntsb.gov) in accordance with the NTSB Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Improvement Plan.

The NTSB said this effort brings the Safety Board into compliance with a number of legislative and executive mandates aimed at improving the U.S. government's use of electronic media to foster a more open and transparent government.

In order to access the NTSB's public dockets, interested website visitors may visit the FOIA Electronic Reading Room on the NTSB website and select the list of dockets that are organized by transportation mode. The link to the list of public dockets may be found here: http://www.ntsb.gov/Info/foia_fri-dockets.htm
