Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) announces that it will hold
a public meeting on November 16, 2011, in Gallatin to collect

At the meeting, CSB staff will discuss with the Board the results
of their investigation to date into these incidents. In addition, a
panel of outside experts and others will be invited to speak on a
number of issues related to the investigation.
All staff presentations are preliminary and are intended solely to

findings presented by staff should be considered final.
After the conclusion of Hoeganaes case study discussion, the Board
