White House renames Danly to become FERC commissioner

摘要

The White House has re-nominated James Danly, the Federal EnergyRegulatory Commission’s general counsel, to become a member of thecommission, restarting a Senate process that bogged down at the endof the last session of Congress.The action could help FERC, a key energy market regulator that iscurrently down to three members, keep its quorum in place.Republican Commissioner Bernard McNamee has announced he willnot be seeking another term when his expires at the end of June.While Danly was nominated last year and his confirmationadvanced through committee, the full Senate failed to vote on hisconfirmation before the end of the session, thus sending hisnomination back to the White House.
