Biden withdraws nomination of official to head NHTSA
U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Carlson would continue to serve at NHTSA but did not address why the nomination was withdrawn.
"Ann’s service has helped advance NHTSA’s mission to save lives and reduce the economic costs of roadway crashes," Buttigieg said in a statement. U.S. traffic deaths jumped 10.5% in 2021 to 42,915, the highest number killed on American roads in a single year since 2005, but fell 0.3% in 2022.Her nomination faced strong opposition, with the 13 Republicans on the Senate Commerce Committee earlier this month criticizing her role in the development of fuel-economy standards in 2021.
"GHSA urges the Biden Administration to nominate an individual with a strong safety background that can be quickly confirmed," Adkins wrote on Twitter. Carlson took over NHTSA after Steven Cliff left in September 2022. Cliff was named NHTSA's deputy administrator in February 2021 and ran the agency on an acting basis until he was confirmed in May 2022.During the Trump administration no nominee was ever confirmed to head NHTSA and there was no nominee for much of the four-year period. The Biden administration has struggled to win approval for many key transportation nominees in a closely divided U.S. Senate.
