related effects on the Nation’s environmental resources. My experiences also
provided me with the expertise needed to organize and lead FAA teams that

worked with specialists from the Environmental Protection Agency and
airport and airline organizations to develop regulations that protect water
quality near airports during airport and aircraft de-icing operations. My
experiences further helped me establish and work with intra- and inter-agency

teams that examined how various land uses near airports attract wildlife and
birds that endanger safe airport operations and to devise agency protocols to
address those land uses to promote safe aviation. These and other actions

related to my position as an EPS enabled me to become a nationally-
recognized specialist in airport-related environmental effects.

As a result, I helped organize many environmental workshops and meetings
that focused on environmental impacts that occur when airports are built and
operated. At these workshops and meetings, I was an instructor who
explained the requirements of Federal rules that address those impacts and

taught personnel how to conduct analyses to meet those requirements.

I am fortunate to have had a career that allowed me to use my scientific

training to serve the American public. I hope my efforts have, in some way,
protected the environmental resources that are critical to the well-being and
future of my fellow citizens and the Nation. I urge politicians and

administrators to recognize the significance of environmental protection
requirements they have enacted. I call upon those officials to use caution
when they establish new requirements, or when they consider changing or
eliminating the requirements that have served the Nation well.

(DOT) over 38 years. My lengthy career took me through multiple positions,
with my most prominent position as the Director of The Office of Emergency
Transportation (OET) in the Office of the Secretary at DOT Headquarters.

My civil service career began as a staff officer in the Office of Transportation
Security, developing and implementing policy matters related to preventing
the loss of goods moving through the civil transportation systems to criminal
acts. This led to reassignment to a more challenging position as a senior staff

officer in the OET, and eventual appointment to Director, leading the
development and management of emergency preparedness and response
programs and plans for engaging civil transportation services during domestic
