Biden Seeks to Rebuild Chemical Safety Board with Three New Nominees

President Joe Biden has nominated Sylvia Johnson, Steve Owens and Jennifer Sass to serve as members of the Chemical Safety Board, which has operated for a year with only one of its five board seats filled. If the Senate confirms the nominations, the trio will join Chair and CEO Katherine Lemos on the board. Since May 1, 2020, Lemos has carried on as what she has called “a quorum of one” after the Kristen Kulinowski three months before her five-year term was set to expire. The CSB investigates major terminal accidents.
