Michael P. Huerta is expected to be confirmed as the FAA Administrator, having served as Acting Administrator for over a year since his predecessor's resignation.
His confirmation, following a period of delay, would mark him as the longest-serving agency leader to transition from an acting to a full, five-year term.
Huerta is anticipated to significantly influence the implementation of the FAA's NextGen ATC system, particularly leading up to the ADS-B equipment deadline, and is regarded as knowledgeable and enthusiastic for the role.
