The Senate Commerce Committee approved the renomination of Terrell McSweeny to fill the one remaining FTC commissioner vacancy, the committee said in a statement. The committee originally approved McSweeny’s nomination in November (CD Nov 14 p17), but had to reconsider her because of the beginning of a new session of Congress. McSweeny was originally nominated in June (CD June 24 p12), but the nomination of the current chief counsel for competition policy and intergovernmental relations for the Justice Department never reached a full floor vote
