To Serve as FAA Chief Counsel
Secretary of Transportation Norman Y. Mineta appointed Andrew B.
Steinberg as Chief Counsel for the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA).
"Andy brings
a wealth of experience in aviation to his new post as FAA’s
chief legal officer," said Secretary Mineta. "His counsel will help
the FAA as it moves forward on meeting its goals of enhancing the
safety and capacity of our aviation system."
As Chief Counsel for the FAA, Steinberg will serve as the top
legal advisor to the FAA Administrator, overseeing the
agency’s legal staff in Washington and 11 field offices. He
will be responsible for all aspects of the FAA’s legal
responsibilities, including the agency’s regulatory program,
administrative and judicial litigation, enforcement activities,
legislation and legal relations with foreign civil aviation
authorities. Steinberg will also provide extensive legal
support for the FAA’s procurement program, airports program
and ethics compliance.
"Thanks to the support of the President and Secretary Mineta,
I’m pleased to have someone of Andy’s high caliber join
the FAA team," said Administrator Blakey. "His industry and private
sector experience will be a valuable asset as we chart a course for
aviation’s next century."
Steinberg has almost two decades of legal and aviation industry
experience. Prior to his appointment, he served as Vice President,
General Counsel and Secretary of Church & Dwight, a diversified
consumer packaged goods and industrial products company. He
previously served as chief legal and administrative officer for
online travel site Travelocity.com, and chief legal officer of
Sabre, a leading provider of computerized reservation services and
information technology solutions to the travel and transportation
industry. As Associate General Counsel at American Airlines, he
