MarAd chief counsel moves to DOT

   K. Denise Rucker Krepp, chief counsel of the Maritime Administration, is moving to another job within the U.S. Department of Transportation.
   A MarAd spokesman said “we do not comment on personnel moves.”
   But a source said Krepp has been assigned to the Office of the Secretary as special counsel to the DOT general counsel.
   She was officially sworn in as MarAd’s chief counsel in September 2009. Prior to joining the agency, Krepp served as senior counsel for the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security. Her portfolio included maritime and surface transportation security and homeland defense. She also worked for the Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration from 2002 to 2005.
   Krepp began her legal career with the Coast Guard and served on active duty from 1998 to 2002. — Chris Dupin
