BIS Updates Staff Organizational Chart

The Commerce Department Bureau of Industry and Security updated its organizational chart to reflect staffing changes. The chart, which was updated Jan. 22, lists Cordell Hull as acting undersecretary for industry and security, Jeremy Pelter as performing the non-exclusive duties of acting deputy undersecretary for industry and security, Kevin Kurland as deputy chief of staff for policy, and Stephen Billy as deputy chief of staff.

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross appointed Hull deputy undersecretary in November (see 1911180040). Hull was appointed three months after Nazak Nikakhtar stepped down from her position as acting undersecretary as she awaited Senate confirmation (see 1908290044). Commerce did not comment.
