Title 15 › Chapter 2B— SECURITIES EXCHANGES › § 78nn

Last updated Apr 3, 2026|Official source

Summary

Starting with its annual report for fiscal year 2006 on the SEC’s Form 10‑K (or any later version), the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) must file with the SEC the same routine, current, and extra reports and documents that would be required under section 78m if TVA were a company with securities registered under section 78l. TVA still does not have to register any securities and will not be treated as having registered them. TVA will be treated as an “issuer” for the purposes of section 78j‑1, except for subsections (m)(1) and (m)(3). TVA does not have to follow any exchange or association rules made in response to section 78j‑1(m)(1). Nothing here reduces the TVA Board of Directors’ powers under the Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933.
