Hearing Could Be on Tap on Poneman?s Appointment to Centrus

A hearing could be in the works on former Deputy Energy Secretary Dan Poneman’s new position as CEO of uranium enrichment firm Centrus Energy Corp., House Oversight and Government Reform Interior Subcommittee Chair Rep. Cynthia Lummis said yesterday. The House panel launched a probe in late March questioning whether Poneman complied with ethics guidelines and federal conflict-of-interest laws, requesting a host of records from DOE by April 10. DOE so far has not provided the documents, Lummis said. “We are still gathering information in that regard, so that might generate additional questions that may be appropriate for a hearing. So we are just in wait and see mode for that,” Lummis told reporters.
