The National Institute of Standards and Technology, on its own
initiative but only after consultation with local authorities, may
initiate and conduct investigations to determine the causes of
structural failures in structures which are used or occupied by the
general public. No part of any report resulting from such
investigation, or from an investigation under the National
Construction Safety Team Act [15 U.S.C. 7301 et seq.], shall be
admitted as evidence or used in any suit or action for damages
arising out of any matter mentioned in such report.
