The Tennessee Valley Authority Salary Transparency Act requires the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to submit a report detailing the compensation of its high-level personnel. This report must include the names, salaries, and duties of all management-level employees, executives, and board members earning at or above the maximum GS-15 federal pay rate. However, the bill also stipulates that this specific salary information is exempt from public disclosure under certain provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Additionally, it is exempt from the requirements of the Access to Congressionally Mandated Reports Act. Consequently, while the report is mandated, the detailed salary data will not be publicly accessible through these legal frameworks.
