NTSB does the incident investigation and analysis, with a final report, determining cause and assigning responsiblity. FAA will do the enforcement actions or issue an equipment AD if warranted. Being that this aircraft was a one off, highly modified airframe, in the experimental category it is highly unlikely there is much for the FAA to rule or enforce hardware wise.
The final report will be very relevant for the attorney's in the coming litigation. I noted the N number from the airframe and will follow on the NTSB reporting page as all these reports are public knowledge they are very interesting to read and you learn a lot from them if you are a pilot.
