Review of the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA)
We reperformed certain procedures due to changes in data previously reviewed by the OIG, the results of which were reported in our October 24, 2008, report under project No. 2008-12062. In reperforming the procedures, we found the (1) actual year-to-date input for the revised fiscal year (FY) 2008 Non-Fuel Operations & Maintenance TVA-wide metric agreed with the underlying support provided by the Controller's organization on December 4, 2008, and (2) revised FY 2008 scorecard and weighted scorecard payout percentages were mathematically accurate.

Audit of the Information Systems General and Application Controls at Carefirst Bluecross Blueshield and the Federal Employees Program Operations Center
We audited $25.24 million of costs billed to TVA by a contractor for subcontract services between September 30, 2002, and December 31, 2007. The subcontractors provided personnel to perform asbestos abatement and sampling, along with removal and installation of other insulation material at TVA nuclear plants and subsequently in support of the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant Unit 1 Recovery Project. In summary, we found that TVA had been overbilled $132,657 as a result of (1) craft labor costs that were not provided for or were in excess of TVA's Project Maintenance and Modification Agreement, (2) duplicate billings for some materials, and (3) inaccurate insurance cost adjustments. We recommended TVA management recover the $132,657 in overbilled costs from the contractor. Summary Only
We audited the costs billed to TVA by a contractor for providing professional engineering and technical support services associated with the restart of Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN) Unit 1. Our audit, which included $110 million of payments TVA made to the contractor from June 2004 through October 2007, found the contractor had overbilled or not credited TVA an estimated $276,484 for (1) home office labor and related costs that should have been covered by the contractor's overhead rate, (2) certain miscellaneous labor costs and markups that were not allowable, (3) unspent employee recognition costs, (4) home office computer and facility charges for some employees who did not meet the contract eligibility requirements, and (5) overbilled provisional payroll taxes and insurance. Additionally, we found that changes TVA made to the contract resulted in TVA paying $343,548 in excessive paid time off costs for certain contractor personnel assigned to the BFN Unit 1 project.
