The Senate on Thursday approved another package of administration nominees, including picks for EPA, NOAA and the Tennessee Valley Authority.
The chamber cleared President Donald Trump’s selections along party lines under new rules allowing the mass confirmation of certain nominees.
“I’m proud of just how much we’ve accomplished on nominees,” said Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) on the floor this week.

The package included Jeffrey Hall to lead EPA’s enforcement office and Douglas Troutman to head the agency’s chemicals office. Both passed the Environment and Public Works Committee in October along party lines.
