Three months after he was nominated to head the Department of Energy’s $8-billion nuclear cleanup office, Colorado developer Timothy Walsh will undergo a hearing this week before the Senate Energy & Natural Resources Committee.
Walsh, nominated in March to head DOE’s Office of Environmental Management, is one of four people nominated to the Department of Energy or the Department of Interior by President Donald Trump to testify Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
The hearing, set for the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington, D.C., was announced recently in a committee press release.
Along with Walsh nomination to be assistant secretary of energy for Environmental Management, the purpose of the hearing is also to consider the nominations of Lanny Erdos to be the director of the Interior Department’s Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement and Audrey Robertson’s nomination to be assistant secretary of energy for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy; and David Eisner to be assistant secretary of energy for International Affairs.
