U.S. air crash investigators, who are assisting in probes of two fatal crashes of Boeing Co.’s grounded 737 Max, plan to issue recommendations within 60 days on how the plane was designed and certified.

The board will issue a recommendation package on “design certification issues,” National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Robert Sumwalt said Wednesday at a Senate Commerce Committee hearing.
