Senators Urge Obama to Overhaul NHTSA
Three U.S. senators on Wednesday urged the White House to reform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration when it nominates a new permanent chief.
The agency has been operating for 11 months without a Senate-confirmed administrator after David Strickland left to join a Washington law firm. A senior administration official told reporters on Oct. 24 that President Barack Obama was likely to name a new permanent chief within two weeks.
Senators Edward Markey, D-Massachusetts, Richard Blumenthal, D-Connecticut, and Bill Nelson, D-Florida, called on Obama to reform NHTSA’s safety mission when nominating its new administrator.
The senators wrote, “NHTSA must alter its practices to require automakers to publicly release more information about accidents that could be caused by safety defects, upgrade its own safety databases and do a better job of enforcing compliance with transparency measures intended to provide early warnings about potentially dangerous defects to the public.”
