 directors of the issuer.   The TVA Act contains certain provisions that are similar to the considerations for independence under Section 10A(m)(3) of the Exchange Act, including that to be eligible for appointment to the TVA Board, an individual shall not be an employee of TVA and shall make full disclosure to Congress of any investment or other financial interest that the individual holds in the energy industry.

Under Section 10A(m)(2) of the Exchange Act, which applies to TVA, the audit committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the external auditor; however, the TVA Act assigns the responsibility for engaging the services of the external auditor to the TVA Board.

The TVA Board has also established four committees in addition to the Audit, Risk, and Cybersecurity Committee, as explained below:

The External Stakeholders and Regulation Committee oversees relationships with customers, members of the public, and key stakeholders.  Involvement includes TVA's regulatory policy, natural resource management, economic development, government relations, federal advisory councils, and emerging social issues.  Current members include William J. Renick (Chair).

The Operations and Nuclear Oversight Committee helps ensure the safety and effectiveness of TVA's power system generation and transmission assets by overseeing operational performance and planning. Additional oversight includes significant projects, major inspections and evaluations, long-term asset planning, and operational and regulatory compliance.  Current members include Robert P. Klein (Chair) and A. Wade White.

The People and Governance Committee has a primary focus on people and the creation of a culture that lives up to TVA's values to ensure optimal performance and sustainability of the enterprise.  The committee reviews key components of the people framework such as talent, engagement, total rewards, and labor relations.  Another key function of this committee is Board governance.  Current members include Robert P. Klein (Chair).

The Finance, Rates, and Portfolio Committee oversees electricity rates, annual budget, major contracts, energy resource portfolio planning, commercial programs and products, technology, innovation, and research programs.  This committee is charged with the responsibility of assisting the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities to manage financial health, strategic planning, wholesale and direct-served customer rates, and holistic asset strategy.  Current members include A. Wade White (Chair) and William J. Renick.
