Sec. 1115. Training

    (a) Definition.--In this section, ``Institute'' means the 
Transportation Safety Institute of the Department of Transportation and 
any successor organization of the Institute.
    (b) Use of Institute Services.--The National Transportation Safety 
Board may use, on a reimbursable basis, the services of the Institute. 
The Secretary of Transportation shall make the Institute available to--
        (1) the Board for safety training of employees of the Board in 
    carrying out their duties and powers; and
        (2) other safety personnel of the United States Government, 
    State and local governments, governments of foreign countries, 
    interstate authorities, and private organizations the Board 
    designates in consultation with the Secretary.

    (c) Fees.--(1) Training at the Institute for safety personnel 
(except employees of the Government) shall be provided at a reasonable 
fee established periodically by the Board in consultation with the 
Secretary. The fee shall be paid directly to the Secretary, and the 
Secretary shall deposit the fee in the Treasury. The amount of the fee--
        (A) shall be credited to the appropriate appropriation (subject 
    to the requirements of any annual appropriation); and
        (B) is an offset against any annual reimbursement agreement 
    between the Board and the Secretary to cover all reasonable costs of 
    providing training under this subsection that the Secretary incurs 
    in operating the Institute.

    (2) The Board shall maintain an annual record of offsets under 
paragraph (1)(B) of this subsection.
    (d) Training of board employees and others.--The Board may conduct 
training of its employees in those subjects necessary for the proper 
performance of accident investigation. The Board may also authorize 
attendance at courses given under this subsection by other government 
personnel, personnel of foreign governments, and personnel from industry 
or otherwise who have a requirement for accident investigation training. 
The Board may require non-Board personnel to reimburse some or all of 
the training costs, and amounts so reimbursed shall be credited to the 
appropriation of the ``National Transportation Safety Board, Salaries 
and Expenses'' as offsetting collections.

    In subsections (b) and (c), the words ``or successor organization'' 
are omitted as unnecessary because of subsection (a) of this section.
    In subsection (b), before clause (1), the words ``(established for 
the purpose of developing courses and conducting training in safety and 
security for all modes of transportation)'' are omitted as surplus. In 
clause (1), the words ``carrying out their duties and powers'' are 
substituted for ``in the performance of all of their authorized 
functions'' for consistency in the revised title and with other titles 
of the United States Code. In clause (2), the words ``of the United 
States Government, State and local governments, governments of foreign 
countries, interstate authorities, and private organizations'' are 
substituted for ``of Federal, interstate, State, local, and foreign 
governments and non-governmental organizations'' for clarity and 
consistency in the revised title and with other titles of the Code.
    In subsection (c)(1), before clause (A), the words ``the Secretary 
shall deposit the fee in the Treasury'' are added for clarity. In clause 
(B), the words ``direct and indirect'' are omitted as surplus. The word 
``administration'' is omitted as being included in ``operating''. The 
text of 49 App.:1903(b)(10) (last sentence) is omitted because 5:ch. 41 
applies to the National Transportation Safety Board by its own terms.
