Kurt Hebert reappointed after self-identifying; cites regulatory and legal experience
Summary
The chair announced an appointee as 'Curtis Leon Hebert Jr.' who identified himself as Kurt Hebert; Hebert described his prior service at Entergy, as a FERC chairman, and as a partner at Brunini Law Firm before members approved his reappointment by voice vote.
The chair announced the next appointee as "Curtis Leon Hebert junior," and the speaker who responded identified himself as Kurt Hebert. Hebert described a long legal and regulatory career — including time with Entergy Corp, service as chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and a role as commissioner and chairman at the Public Service Commission — and said he is currently a partner with the Brunini law firm in Hattiesburg.
Hebert stated, "I am Kurt Hebert... I was with Entergy Corp for a decade, chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission under President Bush," summarizing his background before thanking the chair and members. The chair confirmed required filings (oath and statement of economic interest) and called for a motion to advise and consent; members voiced their approval and no opposition was recorded.
The transcript records the name the chair used to announce the appointee and the name the appointee used to self-identify; the record does not reconcile the two forms of the name. The reappointment was approved by voice vote with no further discussion recorded.
