Appearances across the corpus
Automotive — you've got the federal government, National Highway Transportation Safety Authority, the Department of Transportation. DOT does automobiles and trucks, but they also do pipeline, ships, railroads. You've got the Coast Guard, which gets involved in transportation. Utilities — you've got the American Petroleum Institute, which is a private body, ASME boiler and pressure vessel code; they have big boilers and pressure vessels to generate the energy. Over here you have the Chemical Safety Board, which is only about seven or eight years old, but it's patterned by Congress like the National Transportation Safety Board. When you have a big explosion — most of you probably don't remember, but seven or eight years ago we had a big explosion up in Danvers, Massachusetts, just wiped out a couple city blocks, blew the windows out of neighbors' homes — the Chemical Safety Board came in there, and they actually take over control just like the National Transportation Safety Board. They come in to an accident scene and they're in charge until they release it to the other authorities. They determine what happens.
