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.

Jump To:

Highlights

Pursuant to section 3349(b) of title 5 of the United States Code, we are reporting a violation of the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998 (herein "the Vacancies Reform Act" or "Act") at the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) with respect to the Inspector General position. Specifically, we are reporting that the service of Jill Matthews as Acting Inspector General from April 25, 2018, until on or about May 24, 2019, was in violation of the Act. Because Ms. Matthews is not using the acting title any longer, there is not a continuing violation.
