The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will be examined in a Senate subcommittee hearing next week.

Announced this week by the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, the Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety, and Insurance will host the hearing on Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. EST.

The hearing, titled “Oversight of and Policy Considerations for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,” according to a Senate press release, will “examine the implementation of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act or MAP-21, as well as assess the efficacy and needs of NHTSA’s vehicle safety authority and its administration of highway safety programs.”

The subcommittee, chaired by Sen. Clair McCaskill, is expected to discuss the future of the NHTSA and how it handled the complaints for General Motors’ ignition switch issues.

The Senate’s subcommittee hearing will be webcast live via the Senate Commerce Committee website; refreshing the site within the 10 minutes prior to commencement will ensure the webcast will begin to stream live automatically.
