Few Questions for EPA Nominees During Brief Confirmation Hearing

摘要

Three nominees for assistant administrator positions at the Environmental Protection Agency will sail through the confirmation process if their hearing April 28 is any indication of things to come.rnThe hearing before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee lasted less than an hour and saw only sporadic attendance from committee members.rnMathy Stanislaus, nominated to serve as EPA's assistant administrator for solid waste and emergency response; Cynthia Giles, nominated to be assistant administrator for enforcement and compliance assurance; and Michelle DePass, nominated to be the assistant administrator for international affairs, were told early in their hearing that they would face little opposition from committee members.
