Senate to Question Ho Nieh for NRC Role as Trump's Energy Nominees Advance
The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee is set to question Ho Nieh this week. Nieh, a Republican, is a candidate for a leadership role at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and a position on the committee itself. This comes as the Senate plans to consider more than a dozen of President Donald Trump's energy and environment nominees.
Nieh brings extensive experience to the table, having worked at the NRC since 1997 and held multiple senior roles. His expertise lies in nuclear regulation and environmental policy. The committee will also hear from Douglas Troutman, nominee to oversee the EPA office for pesticides and industrial chemicals. This week's hearings are part of a broader effort to fill key positions in the energy and environment sectors.
The Senate's consideration of these nominees is a significant step in shaping the future of energy and environmental policy. Both Nieh and Troutman's hearings will provide insight into their visions and plans for their respective roles.
