the Commission develop proposed work
plans for future spending and that the
annual Work Plan be published in the
Federal Register, providing an
opportunity for a 30-day period of
public review and written comment.
This Federal Register notice serves to
announce the 30-day opportunity for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The Denali
Commission’s mission is to partner with
tribal, federal, state, and local
governments and collaborate with all
Alaskans to improve the effectiveness
and efficiency of government services,
to build and ensure the operation and
maintenance of Alaska’s basic
infrastructure, and to develop a welltrained labor force employed in a
diversified and sustainable economy.
By creating the Commission, Congress
mandated that all parties involved
partner together to find new and
innovative solutions to the unique
infrastructure and economic
development challenges in America’s
most remote communities. Consistent
with its statutory mission, in September
of 2015 President Obama designated the
Commission as the lead federal agency
for coordinating federal efforts to
mitigate the impacts of erosion, flooding
and permafrost degradation in rural
Alaska. The primary goal is to build
climate resilience with respect to
infrastructure in environmentally
threatened communities.
Pursuant to the Act, the Commission
determines its own basic operating
principles and funding criteria on an
annual federal fiscal year (October 1 to
September 30) basis. The Commission
outlines these priorities and funding
recommendations in an annual Work
Plan. The FY 2017 Work Plan was
developed in the following manner.
• A workgroup comprised of Denali
Commissioners and Commission staff
developed a preliminary draft Work
Plan.

• The preliminary draft Work Plan
was published on www.denali.gov for
review by the public in advance of
public testimony.
• A public hearing was held to record
public comments and recommendations
on the preliminary draft Work Plan.
• Written comments on the
preliminary draft Work Plan were
accepted for another two weeks after the
public hearing.
• All public hearing comments and
written comments were provided to
Commissioners for their review and
consideration.
• Commissioners discussed the
preliminary draft Work Plan in a public
meeting and then voted on the Work
Plan during the meeting.
• The Commissioners forwarded their
recommended Work Plan to the Federal
Co-Chair, who then prepared the draft
Work Plan for publication in the
Federal Register providing a 30-day
period for public review and written
comment. During this time, the draft
Work Plan will also be disseminated to
Commission program partners
including, but not limited to, the Bureau
of Indian Affairs (BIA), the Economic
Development Administration (EDA),
Department of Agriculture—Rural
Utilities Service (USDA/RUS), and the
State of Alaska.
• At the conclusion of the Federal
Register Public comment period
Commission staff provides the Federal
Co-Chair with a summary of public
comments and recommendations, if any,
on the draft Work Plan.
• If no revisions are made to the draft,
the Federal Co-Chair provides notice of
approval of the Work Plan to the
Commissioners, and forwards the Work
Plan to the Secretary of Commerce for
approval; or, if there are revisions the
Federal Co-Chair provides notice of
modifications to the Commissioners for
theirconsideration and approval, and
upon receipt of approval from
Commissioners, forwards the Work Plan
to the Secretary of Commerce for
approval.
• The Secretary of Commerce
approves the Work Plan.
• The Federal Co-Chair then approves
grants and contracts based upon the
approved Work Plan.
FY 2017 Appropriations Summary

received federal funding from several
sources. These fund sources are
