An organization devoted to public oversight has raised concerns regarding a key official involved in the Biden administration's initiatives to push the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in the United States. T

The group, known as Protect the Public’s Trust, has requested the Department of Transportation's (DOT) Inspector General, Eric Soskin, to conduct an investigation into this appointment. There are concerns that the appointment may have violated the Federal Vacancies Reform Act (FVRA), as specified in their official complaint sent earlier this week.

The individual in question is Ann Carlson, who was selected by President Biden to serve as the acting administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) – an important role at the heart of several major national traffic initiatives.

According to the FVRA, the President cannot assign an acting officer to a role unless the individual has previously worked as the chief assistant in the same department for at least 90 days, or if the official has already been nominated by the President for Senate approval within the previous 365 days.

Carlson’s appointment is allegedly in violation of these key aspects of the FVRA. Consequently, Protect the Public’s Trust argues that Carlson’s appointment should be deemed unlawful, and any actions she has implemented during her tenure should be null and void as per legal protocols.
