WASHINGTON — The head of the Federal Aviation Administration’s commercial space transportation office is leaving the agency through a deferred resignation program.
The FAA confirmed to SpaceNews that Kelvin Coleman, FAA associate administrator for commercial space transportation, is among those who opted into the second round of a program intended to reduce the overall workforce at the Department of Transportation, which includes the FAA. Reuters first reported Coleman’s departure.
“The FAA provided employees with a second chance to voluntarily resign or retire through the Deferred Resignation Program,” an FAA spokesperson told SpaceNews. “The agency is working with employees who accepted the offer to transition their work and complete the offboarding process.”
