THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2021
U.S. Senate,
Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation,
Washington, DC.
The Committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:03 a.m. in
room SR-253, Russell Senate Office Building, Hon. Maria
Cantwell, Chairwoman of the Committee, presiding.
Present: Senators Cantwell [presiding], Klobuchar,

OPENING STATEMENT OF HON. MARIA CANTWELL,
U.S. SENATOR FROM WASHINGTON
The Chairwoman. The U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce,
Science, and Transportation will come to order.
We're having a Full Committee hearing today on the
Nominations for several positions, three very important
nominations to the Department of Transportation.
We welcome the nominees and their families and we thank
them for their willingness to serve.
First, we'll consider the nomination of Rear Admiral Ann
Phillips to be Administrator of the Maritime Administration.
Welcome to you and to your family.
We are currently facing unprecedented challenges in the
U.S. maritime industry from concerns about reports of sexual
assault at the Merchant Marine Academy to the need for
investments in our ports to ease congestion and the need for
strong leadership at the helm of the Maritime Administration.
Rear Admiral Phillips has significant experience in the
U.S. Navy and many challenging situations, including Operation
Desert Shield/Desert Storm, as well as her capacity as Director
of the Surface Warfare for the Chief of Naval Operations.
After 31 years of naval service, she continues to serve as
a Special Assistant to Virginia Governor Ralph Northam with a
focus on coastal adaptation and protection.
She has been a trailblazer across her career, the first
female destroyer squadron commodore and the first female
Director of the Surface Warfare and now the first female MARAD
Administrator.
I look forward to seeing her confirmed as the next MARAD
Administrator.
Next, we will consider the nomination of Dr. Steven Cliff,
welcome, to be the Administrator of the National Highway
Transportation Safety Administration. Welcome to you and to
your family and thank you for your willingness to serve.
NHTSA's mission is to save lives, to prevent injuries,
reduce the number of accidents, and hopefully help us with
economic impacts of those events.
The bipartisan Infrastructure law included new safety
mandates that NHTSA will be required to implement, including
automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, and impaired
driving detection technology.
The law also includes historic funding levels for NHTSA's
Highway Safety Grants which will help states and cities combat
distracted and impaired driving and improve occupant protection
and pedestrian safety.
At a time when roadway fatalities are at the highest level
since 2007 and as electric and automated vehicles are becoming
a larger part of our economy, it has never been more important
to have leadership at NHTSA that will take on these challenges.
Dr. Cliff currently serves as Deputy Administrator at
NHTSA. He brings to this role a very extensive scientific and
regulatory background. In addition to working on research at
the University of California, Davis, he has held several
various positions at the California Air Resource Board,
including most recently as its Deputy Executive Officer.
His work there included program oversight of regulation and
working on program development with industry and other
stakeholders. So I look forward to asking you some very
important safety questions related to NHTSA.
And finally, we will consider the nomination of John Putnam
to be the General Counsel of the Department of Transportation.
The General Counsel for the Department of Transportation is
the chief legal officer of that department and serves as the
legal advisor to the Secretary.
The General Counsel also oversees the Office of Aviation
Consumer Protection and as we were talking before the hearing
convened about yesterday's hearing and the needs to continue to
focus on consumer refund issues and the rules that DOT have on
that and working with us in Congress, very important issue to
get consumers the refunds they deserve.
Also, the responsibilities involve coordinating the
department's legislative and regulatory efforts. Mr. Putnam's
nomination comes at a critical moment in light of the recent
bipartisan Infrastructure law which provides an historic $567
billion to the department for various things and incorporating
safety rulemaking.
The counsel's office will also be responsible to set up
grant programs designed to strengthen our freight and port
infrastructure, something that many members of this committee
have great interest in, and, as we've seen, problems in part of
our supply chain can quickly cascade to impacts throughout our
economy.
The department has also jurisdiction over civil aviation.
The committee has been heavily focused on aviation systems and
making sure that they are not only safe but the entire
ecosystem is poised to grow coming out of the pandemic.
Congress has given the department a lot of work in this
respect in implementing the Aviation Manufacturing Jobs Program
that myself and Senator Moran worked on, mandating aviation
safety rulemaking and direction to make sure consumers are
protected.
Mr. Putnam, I plan to ask you about the department's work
to expedite FAA rulemaking and as part of the aviation safety
law that we passed last year that Senator Wicker and I worked
so diligently on and our teams. Part of that rulemaking
includes a safety management system requirement for
manufacturers and this is critically important and one of the
key recommendations not only of our committee but of many other
organizations around the world that these safety management
systems are critical for aviation.
And also, as I mentioned, I'm going to ask you about what
we're doing about the backlog of consumer complaints filed
against airlines for failures to refund during the pandemic.
I'm also going to ask about what the department is going to
do on pipeline safety. Just yesterday, a grand jury indicted
Amplify Energy and two subsidiaries for negligent behavior in
the aftermath of the October oil spill for Southern California.
The indictment referenced multiple warnings that were
allegedly ignored by Amplify Energy, including eight different
alarms for pipeline leak detection systems over a 13-hour
period.
Amplify failed, as the allegations state, to turn off the
pipeline and immediately report the spill to the Coast Guard.
This delayed response and cleanup of the oil spill may have
resulted in an increase and potentially avoidable harm to our
fragile coastal ecosystem. The spill was caused by a ship's
anchor dragging a pipeline.
The Department of Transportation, and the Coast Guard, must
improve the oversight of pipeline and anchorage locations and
we must assess the risk posed by existing pipelines near
shipping channels and anchorages.
This is why it's especially important to have leadership at
the Department of Transportation. So I look forward to your
confirmation and your leadership on these important issues.
So thank all of you again for your willingness to serve,
and now I turn to my colleague, Senator Wicker, the Ranking
Member, for his opening statement.
STATEMENT OF HON. ROGER WICKER,
U.S. SENATOR FROM MISSISSIPPI
Senator Wicker. Thank you very much.
Senator Cantwell is correct. She and I have worked together
closely on items, such as the airline safety legislation, and
on these nominees, I know Secretary Buttigieg came to visit
some of us in the Capitol just last week and asked that we get
him a team confirmed and in place and so I do appreciate the
Chair calling this hearing today and seeking to move forward on
these nominations.
These positions are key leadership roles at DOT, making it
all the more vital that this committee carefully assess each
nominee's qualifications and plans for the department.
Mr. Putnam is currently serving as Deputy General Counsel
at DOT and he's also served as Acting General Counsel. This
experience has undoubtedly given him valuable overview of the
duties of General Counsel. He has also worked for the State of
Colorado and practiced transportation law in private practice.
So I look forward to hearing how these professional
credentials could benefit the American public.
Dr. Cliff is the Deputy Administrator of NHTSA, having
joined the department from the California Air Resources Board
where he was Deputy Executive Director. He also worked for the
California Department of Transportation and as a professor at
Cal, Davis.
I'm interested in hearing how these previous roles would
inform his approach at NHTSA. His testimony today will allow
him to articulate to the Committee how he plans to improve
safety for the traveling public.
Rear Admiral Phillips is presently serving as the Special
Assistant to Governor Northam for Coastal Adaptation and
Protection. She has a distinguished career in the U.S. Navy for
30 years and retired with the rank of Rear Admiral in 2013.
I'm interested to hear from her regarding her plans to
carry out the critical duties of MARAD Administrator which
include oversight of the Merchant Marine Academy and its
Sealift Senior Program, as the Chair just mentioned, in
addition to strategic efforts to grow the U.S. Flag Fleet.
I will note that I am disappointed and a bit puzzled by
MARAD's recent refusal to provide technical drafting assistance
before my markup of the Improving Protections for Midshipmen
Act, which is a bipartisan bit of legislation designed to
address the sexual harassment and sexual assault problem that
we have and that the Academy is determined to address, also. So
it came as a surprise to me.
If confirmed, I hope Admiral Phillips will work for a
collaborative relationship to assist the legislative branch
when that is possible.
So I want to thank all these nominees, thank the Chair for
expeditiously calling this hearing, and I yield back.
The Chairwoman. Thank you, Senator Wicker.
So, Rear Admiral, we'll start with you. So we're asking
each of you to give 5 minutes of testimony and submit anything
longer for the record and certainly welcome you if you would
like to introduce your family, make any other additional
statements.
Thank you.
STATEMENT OF REAR ADMIRAL ANN CLAIRE PHILLIPS
(USN, RET.), NOMINEE TO BE ADMINISTRATOR,
MARITIME ADMINISTRATION
Admiral Phillips. Thank you, Madam Chair.
Chair Cantwell, Ranking Member Wicker, Members of the
Committee, it's an honor to appear before you today as Nominee
for the position of Maritime Administrator.
I want to thank President Biden and Secretary Buttigieg for
nominating me to fill this role. It is both critical to our
economic and our national security.
I also would like to introduce my husband Luis Boticario,
Captain, U.S. Navy (Ret.), who is watching virtually, and my
brother, Dr. Jonathan Phillips, who is here today.
If I am honored enough to be confirmed, I pledge that I
will work diligently to execute the duties and responsibilities
of the Maritime Administrator and to support Secretary
Buttigieg and the extraordinary team of the Department of
Transportation and the Maritime Administration as we work to
strengthen our Merchant Marine, continue to strengthen the
resilience of our supply chains, and implement a historic
investment in our maritime infrastructure.
I am committed to working closely with the members of this
committee and your colleagues to advance our Nation's maritime
transportation and infrastructure goals.
I know from my experience on the staff of the Chief of
Naval Operations the critical work of congressional committees
and how hard you work to meet the needs of your constituents
and communities.
I also know how important it is to listen to and work with
you on a broad range of stakeholders to find bipartisan
solutions to the challenges we face.
During my nearly 31-year career, I had the honor of holding
command at sea three times at the ship, destroyer squadron and
strike group levels. As Commander, Expeditionary Strike Group
2, I worked closely with the Military Sealift Command to ensure
capacity and support for a host of related strategic response
missions.
As a result of my experiences in this and other
assignments, I understand the critical role of our commercial
merchant marine in providing the vital sealift on which our
military relies and I witnessed many of the challenges that
confront our commercial fleet, as well.
Previously, I also served as Deputy Director and then
Director of Surface Warfare Division in the Pentagon. I managed
the annual Fiscal Year defense plan for the submission of the
surface force, including ships combat systems, weapons systems,
and related training and infrastructure. I retired as a Rear
Admiral in 2013.
For the past 3 years, I have served as the Special
Assistant to Governor Ralph Northam for Coastal Adaptation and
Protection in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Under my
leadership, we developed and delivered the Commonwealth's first
Coastal Resilience Master Plan which sets forth strategies to
protect our most critical and vulnerable coastal infrastructure
from sea level rise and coastal hazards.
Throughout my career, safety has been at the forefront of
my mission. The foundational priority for U.S. DOT will always
be safety. Likewise, safety will be the ``north star'' for the
Maritime Administration should I have the honor to be confirmed
as Administrator.
In addition, for the Maritime Administration, my priorities
will be, first, promoting a strong Merchant Marine and
continuing the recapitalization of the Strategic Sealift Fleet
and support for a competitive, safe, and modern maritime
industry capable of meeting strategic sealift support
requirements and prepared to succeed in a contested
environment.
Second, continuing the work initiated by DOT and MARAD to
address the many challenges of the U.S. Merchant Marine
Academy, including implementing measures to support a safe and
inclusive learning and training environment on campus and at
sea where sexual assault and harassment are not tolerated.
Further, advancing the ongoing efforts to address the
Academy's many infrastructure challenges and strengthening
MARAD's oversight of the Academy, supporting effective
governance, and tackling the many other issues enumerated in
the study recently released by the National Academy of Public
Administration.
Third and finally, to support effective and speedy
implementation of the grant programs authorized under the
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
As we continue to emerge from the pandemic, aided by the
bipartisan Infrastructure law, we have a once-in-a-generation
opportunity to improve our maritime systems, supply chains,
infrastructure, and industry, and to ensure that it equitably
serves all Americans and communities of all sizes.
If confirmed, I look forward to working closely with you
all to achieve these urgent goals.
I am confident that my lifetime of service at sea, my
experience commanding major U.S. and international maritime
operations, my background managing fiscal resources and
requirements development for the surface force, and my recent
experience crafting equitable climate resilience and coastal
adaptation and protection strategies for Federal and maritime
infrastructure in the Commonwealth of Virginia has prepared me
to serve as Maritime Administrator.
In closing, I thank the Committee for the opportunity to
appear before you today and I welcome your questions.
Thank you.

20. Given the current mission, major programs, and major

believe affirmatively qualifies you for appointment to the position for
which you have been nominated, and why do you wish to serve in that
position?
Having devoted a significant part of my life to the sea services,
and now, to building coastal and climate resilience, I understand the
need for and am deeply committed to the development of a strong
strategic sealift capacity and supporting infrastructure, including
equitable economic and workforce development, training and capacity for
the U.S. Flag maritime industry. I am also deeply committed to
strengthening and invigorating the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy to
ensure the future leadership of the U.S. maritime industry. My 31 years
of service in the U.S. Navy, combined with my recent and ongoing
experience in state government and academe, makes me well-suited to
execute the full portfolio of duties and responsibilities required of
the Maritime Administrator.
For the past three years, I have served as the Special Assistant to
Governor Ralph Northam for Coastal Adaptation and Protection in the
Commonwealth of Virginia--the primary point of contact for coastal
adaptation and flooding mitigation across Virginia, including the Port
of Virginia, and substantial critical Federal and Department of
Defense--largely maritime related--infrastructure. Later this year, we
will deliver the Commonwealth's first Coastal Resilience Master Plan,
to chart a course to adapt and protect our most critical coastal
infrastructure, all of which, as described above, is exceedingly
vulnerable to multiple climate-related hazards, including sea level
rise, recurrent flooding, and coastal storms and hurricanes.
During my naval career, I was fortunate to hold Command at Sea
three times, at the Ship, Destroyer Squadron, and Strike Group level.
As Commander, Expeditionary Strike Group TWO (ESG-2), I provided
strategic and operational leadership and management of 26 assigned
subordinate ships, squadrons, and units--over 15,000 in manpower, and
$20B in capital assets. During that tour, I worked closely with the
Military Sealift Command as a part of the ESG Mission set to ensure
capacity and support for strategic sealift offload and backload, Joint
Logistics Over The Shore (JLOTS) deployment, Defense Support to Civil
Authorities and Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response missions.
Prior to that, as Deputy Director and Director of Surface Warfare
Division (N86), I managed the annual Fiscal Year Defense Plan
submission for the Surface Force, with a 5-year average budget of $48B,
which included ships, combat systems, weapons systems, and related
training and infrastructure.
I am honored to be nominated by President Biden to serve as a part
of Secretary Pete Buttigieg's leadership team within USDOT. I believe
that my lifetime of service at sea, my experience commanding major U.S.
and international maritime operations and my background managing fiscal
resources and requirements development for the Surface Force, coupled
with my recent experience focused on building equitable climate
resilience and coastal adaptation and protection strategies for the
critical Federal and maritime infrastructure of the Commonwealth of
Virginia, has prepared me, if confirmed, to serve as Maritime
Administrator.
21. What do you believe are your responsibilities, if confirmed, to
ensure that the department/agency has proper management and accounting
controls, and what experience do you have in managing a large
organization?
The Maritime Administrator oversees and maintains the functions of
the Maritime Administration as it ensures the functionality of U.S.
waterborne transportation and the viability of the U.S. Merchant Marine
and U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. As a lifelong leader, public servant,
and steward of taxpayer dollars, as described above, I am familiar with
and understand the process to build and oversee substantial budgets,
and the need for strict accountability, auditable financial practices
and controls, as well as with the complex challenges and
responsibilities of developing and maintaining a diverse, skilled
workforce, and ensuring sound legal procedures in a multifaceted and
demanding political environment.
22. What do you believe to be the top three challenges facing the
department/agency, and why?
The top challenge for USDOT will always be safety. Likewise,
safety, as the ``north star'' for the Maritime Administration will
continue under my leadership, should I have the honor to be confirmed
as Maritime Administrator. In addition, for the Maritime
Administration, the need to first, promote a strong and functional U.S.
Merchant Marine and a recapitalized strategic sealift fleet, sized,
manned, and trained to meet the growing marine transportation system
needs for commerce, supply chain and economic development, for a
competitive, safe, and modern maritime industry, as well as meet
wartime strategic sealift support requirements.
Second, build the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy into a world-class
leader and institution in maritime education, research, technology, and
best marine resource and leadership and management practices--all while
ensuring the Academy provides a safe learning and training environment.
Third, ensure the institutional and functional resilience, safety,
and sustainability of the U.S. Maritime industry--as critical national
security infrastructure--to natural and man-made hazards.

In July 2016 I was a victim of identity theft, achieved through
fraudulent access to my bank account. Fraudulent accounts were opened
in my name and may appear on historic credit reports. I filed a report
of this criminal activity with the Norfolk, Virginia Police Department
in July 2016. Due to related fraudulent activity involving active duty
and retired Naval service members, the Naval Criminal Investigative
Service conducted an investigation into the reported criminal activity.
I do not know the final disposition of that investigation.
On October 15th, 2012, I was appointed by U.S. Fleet Forces Command
(USFFC) as the Investigating Officer, directed to conduct a Judge
Advocate General Manual Investigation (JAGMAN), into the circumstances
surrounding a collision between the USS SAN JACINTO (CG 56) and USS
MONTPELIER (SSN 765). The investigation concluded on December 18, 2012,
and was forwarded to USFFC for review and disposition. The
Investigation was released under a FOIA request in June 2014.

SANJACINTO-INVRESRPT.PDF
On December 13th, 2012, a Sailor aboard USS CARTER HALL (LSD 50), a
subordinate command to Expeditionary Strike Group TWO, fell in the well
deck of the ship during routine operations at sea, and subsequently
died from his injuries. A JAGMAN Investigation was conducted by the
Commander, Amphibious Squadron 4. ESG TWO reviewed, addressed
recommended corrective and disciplinary actions and forwarded to USFFC
for final review.

hall/
On August 21, 2012, a tug and barge from Amphibious Construction
Battalion TWO, an ESG TWO Subordinate Command, narrowly avoided a
collision with the inbound container vessel APL OMAN, causing the OMAN
to drop anchor in the vicinity of the Thimble Shoals Tunnel of the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. The Coast Guard conducted a safety
investigation, and ESG 2 Staff conducted a JAGMAN investigation,
recommended and implemented corrective and disciplinary actions, and
forwarded to USFFC for final review.

The Chairwoman. Thank you, Rear Admiral Phillips.
Dr. Cliff, welcome. You're welcome to make your opening
statement.
STATEMENT OF DR. STEVEN SCOTT CLIFF,
NOMINEE TO BE ADMINISTRATOR,
NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION
Dr. Cliff. Thank you, Chair Cantwell, Ranking Member
Wicker, and Members of the Committee.
I am honored to appear before you today as the Nominee for
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, known as
NHTSA.
I want to thank the President and Secretary Buttigieg for
their trust in nominating me.
I also want to thank my wife Maureen and our two adult
children, Evelyn and Grayson, my folks, and all the rest of my
family and friends who are watching online.
I have spent my entire career as a public servant, first as
a scientist at the University of California at Davis and then
for more than a decade in various roles, technical and
leadership roles in the California government where I
championed sustainable transportation.
Now if I'm honored enough to be confirmed, I will draw upon
those decades of experience to help make our transportation
system safer for every American.
NHTSA's mission of saving lives on our Nation's roads is
very personal for me just as it is for too many Americans.
While in high school, I rode in a caravan with a group of
friends heading to a graduation gathering at the beach. One of
the cars driven by my best friend when changing lanes crossed
the median, flipped over, and collided with an oncoming car.
Oleanders were the only median barriers at that time to protect
against oncoming traffic. Three of four occupants, including my
best friend, were killed. My life was changed forever.
This tragedy led my parents and my hometown to start a
graduation night event to reduce tragedies like this and while
neither alcohol nor drugs played a role in the event I just
described, these safe and sober graduation night parties have
undoubtedly prevented many senseless deaths in the 33 years
since that terrible day.
Since February 2, 2021, I have served as Deputy
Administrator of NHTSA, working with some of the most dedicated
and professional public servants I've ever encountered.
NHTSA is focused on making our vehicles safer for everyone
while integrating policies that make transportation more safe,
equitable, and environmentally sustainable, top priorities of
this Administration.
Like the rest of the department, I am gravely concerned
about the increase in traffic fatalities during the COVID-19
pandemic. Secretary Buttigieg rightfully called it a crisis.
While many stopped driving in the early days of the
pandemic, those who remained on the road were more likely to
engage in risky behaviors. As a result, we've seen an
unprecedented rise in roadway fatalities. I am committed to
turning this around.
We have much to learn about why some driving behaviors
changed during the pandemic, how we can encourage people to
make safer choices, and how to change a culture that accepts
the loss of tens of thousands of people in roadway crashes as
inevitable.
We continue to work with safety stakeholders around the
country to develop countermeasures but more work needs to be
done. A cultural change will take a transformational and
collaborative approach to safety. Everyone, including those who
design, operate, build, and use the road system, shares
responsibility for road safety.
By taking the safe systems approach, we commit to improving
safety for all road users. A safe system approach incorporates
the five Es: equity, engineering, education, enforcement, and
emergency medical services.
The monumental bipartisan Infrastructure law will be
central to these efforts. This historic legislation increases
NHTSA's budget by 50 percent, the largest investment in motor
vehicle and highway safety since NHTSA was established more
than 50 years ago.
This funding will improve our understanding of where and
how crashes happen by improving data quality and expanding
electronic reporting to move from paper-based data collection
systems to digital systems. It will also broaden the crash
investigation sampling system by increasing the number of data
collection sites, including more crash types, and adding on-
scene investigation protocols to enhance the data collection in
crashes involving vulnerable road users.
These improvements will allow us to understand in real time
the causes of crashes and help us address those causes.
NHTSA is also responsible for setting the corporate average
fuel economy standards or CAFE. I am committed to making the
transportation fleet as efficient as possible to save consumers
billions of dollars at the pump, to improve the Nation's energy
security, and to protect the environment.
We will focus on safe, equitable, and environmentally
protective policies as we carry out our life-saving mission.
If I have the honor of being confirmed as the Administrator
of NHTSA, I commit to continuing to work with members of this
committee to improve roadway safety, foster innovation, advance
transportation equity, and address climate change.
Chair Cantwell, Ranking Member Wicker, and Members of the
Committee, thank you for your consideration. I look forward to
your questions.
