What's your issue?
Some of the odds and sods on the aircraft are American, so the NTSB might be able to contribute something. Seems the FDR is Honeywell, so there you go.

I'm pretty sure that the NTSB won't get involved just to watch the french BEA because some folks think they ought.
The NTSB would likely ring up their BEA counterparts if there was a need for a thorough investigation of a US manufactured or designed part (I have not heard of any yet).
If the NTSB happen to have some black box readout experience that the BEA doesn't then the labs may get involved.
The long and short of it is that cross involvement under ICAO is mostly for technical reasons and not political reasons
