Before adjourning for seven weeks, the Senate on July 14 confirmed Scott Darling to lead the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Darling had been the agency’s acting administrator.

He was confirmed by unanimous consent. Darling had waited about half a year for the chamber to take up his nomination.

“I am pleased that the Senate confirmed Darling to be the next administrator of FMCSA. As the acting administrator over the last 11 months, Scott has been laser-focused on the agency’s mission of reducing large bus and truck crashes and fatalities,” said Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx.

“He goes the extra mile to engage actively and personally with the agency’s stakeholders. His collaborative approach has moved the ball forward on commercial motor vehicle safety. I look forward to our continued work together and congratulate him on his confirmation,” Foxx added.
