联邦贸易委员会周二宣布，先锋自然资源公司创始人兼前首席执行官斯科特·谢菲尔德无法直接上诉一项拜登政府时期的命令，该命令禁止他在埃克森美孚收购先锋后加入其董事会。不过，委员会表示将重新审视这一决定。
FTC的三位共和党委员一致投票拒绝了谢菲尔德的请求，理由为程序性问题。但该机构计划根据允许重新审议先前决策的规则，评估其论点。去年，FTC主席安德鲁·弗格森曾批评该命令过度干预，认为它超越了委员会权限。当时担任委员的弗格森指出，禁令基于对谢菲尔德可能与石油输出国组织成员协调的担忧，但实际超出了合理范围。
谢菲尔德周二回应称："我坚持认为，原决定体现了严重且不公正的政府越权行为。"
此外，FTC还在审查类似指令，包括阻止赫斯公司首席执行官约翰·赫斯在雪佛龙宣布收购计划后加入其董事会的禁令。
