Bill > S1354

This bill amends the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Act of 1933 to require more transparent reporting about employee compensation while also providing certain protections for salary information. Specifically, the TVA will now be required to submit an annual report detailing the total number of employees at the management level or above (including executives and Board members), with each such employee's name, salary, and duties, for those earning at or above the maximum rate of basic pay for grade GS-15 of the General Schedule. Importantly, the bill exempts these salary details from standard disclosure requirements under the Freedom of Information Act and the Access to Congressionally Mandated Reports Act, effectively creating a unique reporting mechanism that provides transparency internally while protecting the specific salary information from public disclosure. The bill also makes several technical updates to the Act, such as updating references to government offices (changing "General Accounting Office" to "Government Accountability Office") and clarifying language about auditing and reporting procedures. These changes aim to modernize reporting requirements for the TVA while maintaining a degree of confidentiality around individual employee compensation.
