No reason was provided and the committee didn't respond to requests for comment. The uncertain fate of Bill Wehrum's selection to run EPA's air office may be partially to blame for the delay. Sen. Joni Ernst pointedly declined to state she'd vote in support of his nomination even after Administrator Scott Pruitt's efforts this afternoon to reassure cornstate senators about how he'd implement the Renewable Fuel Standard. With just an an 11 10 majority on the panel, Republicans could afford no defections. Other nominations now delayed: Michael Dourson's to be EPA chemicals chief; David Ross' to head the EPA water office; Matthew Leopold's to be EPA general counsel; Jeff Baran's re-nomination to the NRC and Paul Trombino's selection to be administrator of the FHWA. WHAT'S NEXT: The committee said the hearing is postponed "until further notice."
