Deborah Hersman’s term as chairman of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board ends Aug. 3, with no word on whether she’ll be retained, during the accident investigation agency’s busiest stretch since the 1990s.

Hersman, 43, will conclude her second term as chairman as Congress leaves Washington for a five-week recess. Asked when or whether she’ll be renominated, Hersman said it’s out of her control.
