WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate Energy Committee on Wednesday voted to advance the nominations of Norman Bay to be a commissioner of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and of Cheryl LaFleur to a second term as commissioner at the utility agency.
Bay's nomination was approved by a 13 to 9 vote and that of LaFleur, who is currently acting chair of FERC, advanced easily, by a 21 to 1 vote.
Most Republican members voted against Bay, taking their lead from Alaska's Lisa Murkowski, the panel's top Republican.
It is unclear when the full Senate will consider the nominations.
