Surface Transportation Board Chairman Daniel R. Elliott III announced today
that Board Member Charles D. Nottingham has been designated as the agencyâs
Vice Chairman. He succeeds Francis P. Mulvey, who most recently served as
Vice Chairman from January 5, 2010 to January 4, 2011, and who continues to
serve as a Board Member. The Board's Vice Chairmanship rotates between the
Members on an annual basis.
Nottingham, the lone Republican on the three-member Board, was
appointed Chairman by President George W. Bush and joined the
Board on August 14, 2006 following his Senate confirmation. He
served as STB Chairman until March 12, 2009. On October 18,
2010 then-Commissioner Nottingham announced that he would not
seek a second term on the Board when his current term expired on
December 31, 2010. The Board's governing statute permits a
Board member to continue serving for up to one year after the
end of his or her term, until a successor is named and
confirmed. Vice Chairman Nottingham has not yet announced a
specific departure date.
