NTSB does not have an appropriation specifically available for such a purpose, and the expenditures cannot be justified as a necessary expense. Because NTSB has no appropriation available to purchase accident insurance, the payments NTSB made constitute violations of the Antideficiency Act. NTSB must report the violations to the President and Congress, with a copy of the report to the Comptroller General. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-309715/html/GAOREPORTS-B-309715.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-309715/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-309715.pdf GAO/B-309715 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-309715 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-309715; B-309715, National Transportation Safety Board--Insurance for Employees Traveling on Official Business, September 25, 2007; Volume 119 Page 2396 119 Stat. 2396 Public Law 109-115
