David Rosner and Lindsay See have been sworn in as FERC’s newest Commissioners on June 13 and 28, 2024, respectively. The FERC Open Meeting on June 27 marked Commissioner Rosner’s first Open Meeting and Commissioner Allison Clements’ last Open Meeting before her term expired on June 30, 2024. The U.S. Senate previously confirmed now-current Commissioners Rosner and See on June 13, 2024, along with Judy Chang. It is likely that Judy Chang will be sworn in as Commissioner in the coming days. Judy Chang’s swearing in will bring the agency to its full complement of five commissioners.  

On October 6, 2015, FERC Commissioner Philip D. Moeller announced his intention to leave the Commission at the end of October.  Commissioner Moeller has been with the Commission since 2006, when he was appointed by former President George W. Bush.  In 2010, Commissioner Moeller was re-appointed by President Obama for a five-year term that expired on June 30, 2015; however, he was permitted to remain at the agency until Congress adjourns, unless a replacement was confirmed and sworn in.  At this time, no one has been nominated to replace Commissioner Moeller.

On September 1, 2015, FERC announced that Chairman Norman Bay had named Max Minzner as general counsel to the Commission.  Prior to being named general counsel, Mr. Minzner served as a staff advisor to Chairman Bay.  Prior to joining FERC, Mr. Minzner was a professor at the University of New Mexico School Of Law and the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law.  Mr. Minzner is a graduate of Brown University and Yale Law School.

On May 13, 2015, Commissioner Philip Moeller announced his intent to resign from FERC upon the confirmation of his successor by the U.S. Senate.  Commissioner Moeller joined FERC in 2006.  He is currently serving the final months of his second term, set to expire on June 30 of this year (see June 25, 2010 edition of the WER).

On January 5, 2015, Colette Honorable was sworn in as a FERC Commissioner.  Commissioner Honorable’s nomination was approved by the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources on December 11, 2014 (see December 15, 2014 edition of the WER), and confirmed by the Senate on December 16, 2014 (see December 22, 2014 edition of the WER).
