摘要: |
The Norman Y. Mineta Research and Special Programs Improvement Act of 2004 was signed into law by President Bush on November 30, 2004. It embodies Secretary Mineta's vision of a Department-wide resource to guide the coordination and management of research, development, and technology (RD&T) activities. The Act dissolves the Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA), creating in its stead two separate administrations: the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA). Through a realignment of other existing Department of Transportation (DOT) entities, RITA comprises offices with research and analytical capabilities that were previously fragmented. These include: The Office of Innovation, Research, and Education; the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center; and the Transportation Safety Institute, all previously in the former RSPA; The Office of Intermodalism previously in the Office of the Secretary (OST); and The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS). / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
