The US Senate confirmed the nominations of Kevin McIntyre and Richard Glick to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on Nov. 2. McIntyre, who co-leads the global energy practice at the Jones Day law firm, will serve the remainder of a term that ends in June 2018 and a full term that ends 5 years later. Glick, general counsel for the Democrats on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, will serve the remainder of a term that ends in June 2022.
Oil and gas association leaders welcomed the news. “[FERC] faces critical issues in approving infrastructure for getting natural gas to markets. With a full slate of commissioners, these approvals will be even stronger to withstand opposition from those who fight to keep gas in the ground,” Independent Petroleum Association of American Pres. Barry Russell said.
