“I am pleased to welcome Bernie to the commission and I look forward to working with him and my Ferc colleagues on the important matters that are before the commission,” Ferc chairman Neal Chatterjee said. “Bernie’s knowledge and experience will serve the commission well.”
McNamee’s confirmation restores the commission to its full complement of five commissioners.
