On Tuesday, March 16, 2021 from 1:00 P.M. to 2:15 P.M., join Eric J. Conn, Micah Smith and Beeta B. Lashkari for a webinar regarding “Update about the Chemical Safety Board.”
In addition, with expired terms, early departures, and the swearing in of a new Chairperson (but no other Board members), the CSB’s Board became a “quorum of one” for the first time, begging questions about its authority to vote on mission-critical work product, such as investigation reports, and its ability to conduct the agency’s business. Although Pres. Biden will likely nominate new Board Members, the Senate confirmation process can be a slog, meaning the CSB may maintain a quorum of one for an extended period.
Participants in this webinar will learn about:
- The CSB’s Accidental Release Reporting Rule requirements
- Board governance with a quorum of one
- Impact of new Biden-appointed Board member nominees
- Status of staffing & hiring efforts
- New investigations, case studies & other work product
Click here to register for the March 16th webinar.
