Bill > HR144

This bill, known as the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Salary Transparency Act, modifies reporting requirements for the TVA's employee compensation disclosure. Specifically, the bill requires the TVA to submit a report detailing the total number of employees at the management level or above, including all executives and board members, who are receiving compensation at or above the maximum rate of basic pay for a GS-15 grade in the General Schedule (a federal government pay scale). The report must include the names, salaries, and duties of these employees. Importantly, the bill exempts the salary information in this report from public disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (section 552(b)(3) of title 5) and from the requirements of the Access to Congressionally Mandated Reports Act. This effectively creates a mechanism for internal reporting of high-level TVA employee compensation while preventing public dissemination of these specific salary details. The bill represents a change from previous requirements that focused on more general financial statements and appears to modify transparency and reporting standards for the Tennessee Valley Authority.
