Sec. 801.36  Surface transportation accident reports.

    Any surface transportation accident investigated by the Board, and 
certain marine accidents investigated by the U.S. Coast Guard, shall 
result in a formal Board report. Such report shall provide the facts, 
conditions, circumstances, and the Board's determination of cause or 
probable cause of the accident. Reports of accidents investigated by the 
Board shall be issued approximately 6 months after the date of accident. 
After notice of issuance appears in the Federal Register, as required by

report shall be made available for public inspection in the Board's 
public reference room. (See appendix for copies and subscriptions.)
