The United States Senate confirmed his nomination on November 21, 2019, and he was sworn into office on December 9, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to his appointment at the Federal Maritime Commission, Commissioner Bentzel created and established a consulting services company where he represented clients on regulatory and legislative issues within the areas of transportation, energy and other areas of federal regulatory oversight. From 2004-2014, Commissioner Bentzel served as Vice President and head of the federal advocacy division of a full-scale public relations firm, the DCI Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to working in the private sector, Mr. Bentzel served the public sector for ten years as a Senate professional committee staffer including, most recently, as Senior Democratic Counsel of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science & Transportation. He moved to his role in the Senate after spending four years on the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries where he served as Counsel for Maritime Policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commissioner Bentzel\u2019s primary areas of responsibility on the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science & Transportation were issues on maritime transportation; rail, surface and pipeline transportation; energy transportation and hazardous materials; and homeland security in these areas.  While working in the Senate, Commissioner Bentzel served as one of the principals in crafting the Maritime Security Act of 1996, the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 1998, and in 2002, after the attacks on 9\/11, the requirements mandated for maritime security through the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002.  He also dealt with matters impacting economic regulation of rail and surface industries before the Surface Transportation Board, and a variety of energy related regulatory issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For his efforts in developing and negotiating passage of Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002, Commissioner Bentzel was awarded the Coast Guard\u2019s Medal for Meritorious Public Service and the Maritime Security Council\u2019s Man of the Year award.  Mr. Bentzel is also the author of the chapter on Port Security within McGraw-Hill\u2019s <em>Handbook on Homeland Security.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commissioner Bentzel earned his Bachelor of Arts from St. Lawrence University, his Juris Doctor from the University of Alabama, and his Master of Laws from the Admiralty Law Institute, Tulane University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"recent-news\">Recent News<\/h2>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div data-wp-context=\"{}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/query\" data-wp-key=\"0\" data-wp-router-region=\"query-0\" class=\"wp-block-query is-layout-flow wp-block-query-is-layout-flow\"><ul class=\"wp-block-post-template is-layout-flow wp-container-core-post-template-is-layout-1 wp-block-post-template-is-layout-flow\"><li data-wp-key=\"post-template-item-6749\" class=\"wp-block-post post-6749 ftdo type-ftdo status-publish hentry category-carl-w-bentzel\">\n<div style=\"margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:4px;margin-bottom:4px;\" class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-f72d6f4bc0b63872b640059744dcd161 wp-block-post-date has-text-color has-base-color\"><time datetime=\"2024-07-26T10:20:43-04:00\">July 26, 2024<\/time><\/div>\n\n<h2 style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.568), 18px);line-height:1.5; padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;\" class=\"wp-block-post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fmc.gov\/ftdo\/statement-of-commissioner-bentzel-refusal-to-deal-final-rule\/\" target=\"_self\" >Statement of Commissioner Carl W.
