Tennessee Valley Authority Salary Transparency Act
HR 4693, the Tennessee Valley Authority Salary Transparency Act, requires the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to publicly disclose the salaries of its employees earning above the GS-13 General Schedule pay rate (the highest pay grade for most federal civilian jobs). This bill amends the TVA Act of 1933 to raise the salary threshold for mandatory public disclosure from $1,500 annually to the GS-13 rate, meaning higher-paid TVA staff must now have their compensation made public. The change directly affects TVA employees whose base pay exceeds the GS-13 rate, increasing transparency for those positions. The bill does not alter TVA's operations or funding, only the disclosure requirements for specific employee compensation.
