Hersman and Hart renominated for NTSB

NTSB chairman Deborah Hersman and vice chairman Christopher Hart have been renominated by the White House to new terms as members of the agency. In addition, the Obama Administration has also nominated Hersman to her third term as chairman.

Hersman was first appointed as an NTSB member by President Bush in 2004 and reappointed to a second five-year term by President Obama. She was named chairman by President Obama in 2009 and 2011, with unanimous Senate confirmation votes. This past August, President Obama nominated Hersman for a third term as chairman and a third term as a Safety Board member.
