The Commercial Space Launch Act of 1984, as amended, authorizes the Secretary of Transportation to oversee and coordinate United States commercial launch activities. The Secretary's mandate embraces the authority to license and otherwise regulate such activities, as well as the responsibility to encourage, facilitate and promote establishment of a competitive United States commercial space transportation industry. In carrying out these responsibilities, the Secretary is authorized to initiate investigations and inquiries for the purpose of enforcing the statute. On June 5, 1989, the Department of Transportation's (DOT's) Office of Commercial Space Transportation (OCST) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) executed Appendix H to the Reimbursable Memorandum of Agreement between DOT and NTSB. Appendix H outlines the relationship between OCST and NTSB and NTSB's role in commercial space transportation accident investigations. Specifically, NTSB, as the government's independent accident investigation agency, will investigate certain types of commercial space transportation accidents. However, subject to the provisions of section 304(a)(1) of the Independent Safety Board Act of 1974, as amended, nothing in Appendix H impairs OCST's authority under the Commercial Space Launch Act to conduct investigations of accidents under applicable provisions of law or to obtain information directly from parties involved in, and witnesses to, a commercial space launch accident.
