参议院商务委员会11月10日举行提名听证会:FCC委员被提名人Severs等四人出席

美国参议院商务、科学和运输委员会主席、参议员Ted Cruz宣布,委员会将于美东时间11月10日(周二)上午10时30分举行全会提名听证会,审议涉及交通部、联邦通信委员会(FCC)与航天局(NASA)的四项提名。听证会在华盛顿的Russell参议院办公大楼253室举行,并将在委员会网站与YouTube直播。
四名被提名人是:弗吉尼亚州的Leslie Becera,被提名为交通部助理部长;北卡罗来纳州的Danielle Thumann Severs,被提名为联邦通信委员会委员;弗吉尼亚州的Joshua Shoemaker,被提名为航天局首席财务官;马里兰州的Robert Steinau,被提名为航天局督察长。
据路透社报道,Severs现任FCC主席Brendan Carr的高级法律顾问,特朗普总统今年8月提名她出任FCC五名委员中的一个空缺席位,任期五年、自2024年7月1日起算;原定9月17日的确认听证会因她提前生产而推迟。FCC目前由两名共和党委员与一名民主党委员Anna Gomez组成,另有两席空缺;若Severs获得确认,共和党将在FCC形成3比1的多数。据路透社报道,该委员会目前正审议华特迪士尼公司旗下八家ABC电视台牌照的去向,这也是听证会上预计被问及的议题之一。
Senate Commerce Committee Sets November 10 Nominations Hearing: FCC Nominee Severs Among Four Nominees
U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, announced that the committee will convene a full-committee nominations hearing at 10:30 a.m. ET on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, to consider nominations for the Department of Transportation, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The hearing will be held in Room 253 of the Russell Senate Office Building in Washington and will stream live on the committee's website and YouTube.
The four nominees are Leslie Becera of Virginia, to be an Assistant Secretary of Transportation; Danielle Thumann Severs of North Carolina, to be a Member of the Federal Communications Commission; Joshua Shoemaker of Virginia, to be Chief Financial Officer of NASA; and Robert Steinau of Maryland, to be Inspector General of NASA.
According to Reuters, Severs is a senior counsel to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr and was nominated by President Donald Trump in August to serve on one of the two open seats on the five-member commission, for a five-year term dating from July 1, 2024; an initial confirmation hearing scheduled for September 17 was postponed after she gave birth. The FCC currently has two Republicans and one Democrat, Commissioner Anna Gomez. If Severs is confirmed, Republicans would hold a 3-1 majority. Reuters reported that the commission is considering the fate of Walt Disney's eight company-owned ABC stations, an issue Severs is likely to face questions about at the hearing.
