Lapse in Appropriations

Please note that a lapse in appropriations has caused GAO to shut down its operations. Therefore, GAO will not be able to publish reports or otherwise update this website until GAO resumes operations. In addition, the vast majority of GAO personnel are not permitted to work. Consequently, calls or emails to agency personnel may not be returned until GAO resumes operations. For details on how the bid protest process will be handled during the shutdown, please see the legal decisions page. For information related to the GAO Personnel Appeals Board (PAB), please see the PAB webpage.

Highlights

In response to a congressional request, GAO answered questions concerning the Department of Energy's (DOE) uranium enrichment program and its effect on the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and its customers. Specifically, GAO discussed: (1) the amount and cost of TVA power for which DOE contracted but does not intend to use; (2) differences in DOE power contract terms; (3) the cost of TVA power in comparison with other DOE power suppliers; (4) the impact of lower power costs on the DOE enrichment price; and (5) the action taken by DOE to minimize the cost of TVA power not taken.
