William
B. Sansom’s term as a member of TVA’s Board of Directors ended December 24, 2009
with the adjournment of this session of Congress. Mr. Sansom’s term,
which began in 2006, expired May 18, 2009. The TVA Act permitted
him to continue to serve as a Director until the end of this session of
Congress. Although President Obama nominated Mr. Sansom December
4, 2009 to a second term on the TVA Board of Directors, the Senate did not
consider the nomination prior to the adjournment of this session of
Congress. If the Senate approves Mr. Sansom’s nomination, Mr.
Sansom’s second term on the TVA Board of Directors will expire in
2014.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has
duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto
duly authorized.
