The Biden administration today reinforced its environmental roster, announcing a slew of EPA and Interior, Energy and Transportation department nominees.
In one of the highest-profile moves, the White House said energy attorney Tommy Beaudreau will be nominated to serve as deputy Interior secretary, adding both agency management savvy and some potential pragmatic appeal to key Senate centrists.

President Joe Biden intends to nominate Meera Joshi to be administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), the White House announced on Wednesday.
Joshi, currently FMCSA acting administrator, would be the first to hold the administrator title since Ray Martinez left the agency in October 2019. Jim Mullen and Wiley Deck led the FMCSA as deputy administrators after Martinez stepped down but were never confirmed by the U.S. Senate. Joshi must be Senate-confirmed before officially becoming administrator.
Joshi most recently served as general manager of the New York office of Sam Schwartz Transportation Consultants and visiting scholar at New York University s Rudin Center for Transportation policy.
