Two-term Federal Communications Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein was nominated by President Barack Obama to be administrator for the Rural Utilities Service at the Department of Agriculture. The White House made the announcement late Friday (March 20).

To fill one of the two FCC seats, Obama could select Mignon L. Clyburn, 46, who has served as a commissioner on the South Carolina Public Service Commission since 1998.
