WASHINGTON-National Telecommunications and Information Administration chief Nancy Victory Tuesday named Frederick Wentland to head the agency’s spectrum management office, an appointment that comes just days after the agency lost its No. 2 official to a Commerce Department promotion.
Wentland, a 22-year veteran of NTIA, has been acting director of spectrum plans and policies at NTIA since the retirement last year of his predecessor, William Hatch.
Last Friday, the Commerce Department said Michael Gallagher, former deputy administrator of NTIA, will be deputy chief of staff for policy and counselor to Commerce Secretary Donald Evans.
