National Transportation Safety Board is a federal agency with the mandate to investigate accidents, issue safety protocols and recommendations, help victims of aviation disasters, and promote transportation safety. Its recommendations have helped in building support for various laws enacted to facilitate positive control systems. Having been established in 1967, Congress made it responsible for investigating all the civil aviation accidents to identify safety improvements to help prevent future accidents. The body's primary functions are to determine the cause of accidents and develop measures that can be put in place to help control the same. The body also has an office of safety recommendations and communications whose responsibilities are to work together with modal administrations and other recipients to track actions and correspondence taken to respond to those recommendations. The office, besides, coordinates communications with Congress, public, and transportation shareholders regarding the board actions and transportation safety advocacy.
