OPM's Guidance for Addressing the Potential H5N1 Virus Pandemic

Report Information

Date Issued
Report Number
2006-531I
Report Type
Audit
Description
We reviewed the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) guidance/requirements regarding a potential influenza pandemic to determine if TVA is in compliance with OPM requirements and/or has taken other proactive solutions. We found that OPM has issued some guidance for Federal agencies to follow in the event of a pandemic; however none are mandatory for agencies to implement. TVA is currently reviewing OPM guidance and has taken other proactive actions by adopting and adapting the Nuclear Energy Institute guidelines. Based on our presentation to management, subsequent to the issuance of the pandemic plan, we may be requested to verify implementation of key pandemic plan initiatives.
