Item
      5.02  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of
      Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain
      Officers.
On
        December 31, 2007, Congress adjourned without the Senate having voted upon
        President George W. Bush's nominations of Susan Richardson Williams and Bishop
        William Graves to the TVA Board of Directors (the "Board").  Ms.
        Williams and Bishop Graves had been members of the Board since 2006, but
        their
        terms expired May 18, 2007.  In such a situation, the TVA Act
        permitted them to continue to serve as directors until the end of the
        then-current session of Congress.  Because Congress adjourned and
        their nominations were not approved, Ms. Williams and Bishop Graves are no
        longer directors of TVA.
As
        a
        result of these vacancies and a previous vacancy, there are currently six
        directors on the Board.  Under the TVA Act, while the Board may have
        up to nine directors, a quorum for transacting business is five
        directors.
