Explanation: Article 19 states that extremely serious accidents shall be investigated by the State Council or relevant departments authorized by the State Council to organize an accident investigation team. Major accidents, significant accidents, and ordinary accidents are investigated respectively by the provincial people’s government where the accident occurred, the municipal people’s government at the district level, and the county-level people’s government. Provincial people’s **congresses, people’s **congresses of cities divided into districts, and county-level people’s **congresses can directly organize accident investigation teams to conduct investigations, or they can authorize or delegate relevant departments to organize such teams for the purpose of investigating accidents. For minor accidents that do not result in any casualties, the county-level people’s government may also entrust the unit where the accident occurred to organize an accident investigation team to conduct the investigation. Article 20: When it deems necessary, the higher-level people’s court may investigate accidents that are supposed to be investigated by lower-level people’s courts. Within 30 days from the date of the accident (7 days in the case of road traffic accidents and fire accidents), if the level of severity of the accident changes due to variations in the number of casualties, and it is stipulated under these regulations that an investigation should be conducted by a higher-level people’s ** authority, such authority may organize another accident investigation team to carry out the investigation. Article 21: For accidents of levels below those classified as especially serious accidents, if the location where the accident occurs is not in the same administrative region at or above the county level as the entity responsible for the accident, the people’s ** authority in the location where the accident occurred shall be responsible for conducting the investigation, with representatives from the people’s ** authority in the location of the accident-occurring entity also being sent to participate.
