US Senate energy panel to consider renomination of FERC's Kelly

Washington (Platts)--1Jun2004

The US Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee has scheduled a June 8
hearing to consider President Bush's renomination of Suedeen Kelly to the US
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Kelly joined the agency late last year
to fill a term that expires June 30. The new term, which the White House
approved in March, would expire June 30, 2009. Kelly, an attorney who
previously practiced in Albuquerque, New Mexico, apparently enjoys the support
of the committee's Republican Chairman Pete Domenici and ranking Democrat Jeff
Bingaman, both of New Mexico. A Democrat, Kelly serves on the commission with
three Republicans. No more than three members of the commission can be of the
same party as the president and at least three are required to maintain a
quorum on the five-seat commission, which currently has an open seat.
