I’m reading through some NTSB orders on their website, and in the cases I keep finding citations to other cases, but all the footnotes say is “Tr. at 125” or something like that. Right now I’m looking at Administrator v. Pick, EA-3646, and the reference states “Tr. at 66.” I realize that Tr. must be some book containing all these cases, and 66 is probably the page number, but where do I find it? I have access to a law library, but they told me they don’t have a lot of the old C.A.B. and NTSB stuff. Any help?
I don’t know specifically about the NTSB, but my bet is that “Tr.” is a reference to a “Transcript”, most likely a hearing transcript.
I don’t know whether government depositary libraries have copies of witness or hearing transcripts for NTSB matters.
Unless there is a some sort of protection under law or regulation, you should be able to request transcripts or portions of them under the Freedom of Information Act. There should be a section on FOIA on the NTSB website.
