National Transportation Safety Board Annual Report to Congress, 2010
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is an independent agency charged with determining the probable cause of transportation accidents and promoting transportation safety. The NTSB investigates accidents, conducts safety studies, evaluates the effectiveness of other government agencies programs for preventing transportation accidents, and reviews the appeals of enforcement actions involving aviation and mariner certificates issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), as well as the appeals of civil penalty actions taken by the FAA. In 2010, the NTSB continued to push for safety improvements as 132 recommendations were officially closed following implementation. These included 53 aviation, 41 highway, 8 marine, 18 railroad, 11 pipeline and 1 intermodal safety advances that, over the past 12 months, were recognized by the Board as complying with our recommendations. They were officially closed with the classifications acceptable action, 'acceptable alternate action', or 'exceeds recommended action'. The average acceptance rate for safety recommendations remained at just over 80 percent. Another 227 recommendations were issued in 2010: 170 aviation, 18 highway, 25 railroad, 7 marine, and 7 pipeline.
