WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Senate on Wednesday voted to confirm President Trump’s nominee to lead the Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) as the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information.
With Arielle Roth now ensconced in the role, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr offered his congratulations.
“Arielle’s distinguished career in government—including time at the FCC and working in the Senate for Chairman Cruz—has given her the skills and knowledge to lead NTIA at this critical time,” he said. “After Congress passed President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, which restored the FCC’s spectrum auction authority, it has become even more important to have terrific leaders like Arielle at NTIA to help unlock more spectrum for consumer use. Arielle and her team will be critical in the work to restore U.S. leadership in wireless, which promotes our economic and national security. I look forward to working with her to deliver great results for the American people.”
