Senate Advances Key Energy and Environment Nominees

The Senate has advanced a package of over 100 nominees, including several for key energy and environment roles. Among them are Catherine Jereza for assistant secretary for electricity at the Department of Energy, John Busterud for the waste office at the EPA, and Usha-Maria Turner for international and tribal issues at the EPA. The package also includes nominees for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and assistant secretary for environmental management at the Department of Energy.

Catherine Jereza is nominated to oversee electricity policy at the Department of Energy. John Busterud, if confirmed, will lead the waste office at the EPA, focusing on waste management and cleanup. Usha-Maria Turner is tapped to manage international and tribal issues at the EPA, working on environmental policies affecting indigenous communities and global partnerships.

Timothy Walsh is nominated for assistant secretary for environmental management at the Department of Energy, while Audrey Robertson is nominated to lead the efficiency and renewables office. Neil Jacobs is nominated to serve as NOAA administrator.

The Senate's vote to end debate on these nominees brings them a step closer to confirmation.
