 <title>National Transportation Safety Board: Preliminary Observations on the Value of Comprehensive Planning, and Greater Use of Leading Practices and the Training Academy</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is a relatively
small agency that plays a vital role in transportation safety and
has a worldwide reputation for investigating accidents. With a	 
staff of about 400 and a budget of $76.7 million in fiscal year  
2006, NTSB investigates all civil aviation accidents in the	 
United States, and significant accidents in railroad, highway,	 
marine, and pipeline; and issues safety recommendations to	 
address issues identified during accident investigations. To	 
support its mission, NTSB built a training academy, which opened 
in 2003 and provides training to NTSB investigators and others.  
It is important that NTSB use its resources efficiently to carry 
out its mission and maintain its preeminence. This testimony,	 
based on ongoing work for this committee, addresses the extent to
which NTSB follows leading practices in selected management	 
areas, addresses challenges in completing accident investigations
and closing safety recommendations, and generates sufficient	 
revenues to cover costs at its academy.</abstract>
