In 1999, the U.S. Congress funded the implementation of a federal initiative—the Alaska Interagency Aviation Safety Initiative—to reduce aviation-related injuries and fatalities and to promote aviation safety in cooperation with the air transportation industry and pilots in Alaska. This initiative is led by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) in partnership with three other federal agencies that share an interest in preventing aircraft crashes and promoting aviation safety. These are the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service.
