Commission was created in 1998 with
passage of the October 21, 1998 Denali
Commission Act (Act) (Title III of Public
Law 105–277, 42 USC 3121). The Denali
Commission Act requires that 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.
The Commission is republishing the
May 17, 2012 notice in full with

Background
The Denali Commission
(Commission) is an independent federal
agency based on an innovative federalstate partnership designed to provide
critical utilities, infrastructure and
support for economic development and
training in Alaska by delivering federal
services in the most cost-effective
manner possible. The Commission was
created in 1998 with passage of the
October 21, 1998, Denali Commission
Act (Act) (Title III of Pub. L. 105–277,
42 USC 3121).
The 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 develop a welltrained labor force employed in a
diversified and sustainable economy,
and to build and ensure the operation
and maintenance of Alaska’s basic
infrastructure.
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.
Pursuant to the Denali Commission
Act, as amended, the Commission
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

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 Work Plan is adopted on an
annual basis in the following manner,
which occurs sequentially as listed:
• Commissioners first forward an
approved draft version of the Work Plan
to the Federal Co-Chair.
• The Federal Co-Chair approves the
draft Work Plan for publication in the
Federal Register providing an
opportunity for a 30-day period of
public review and written comment.
During this time, the draft Work Plan is
also disseminated widely to
Commission program partners
including, but not limited to the Bureau
of Indian Affairs (BIA), the Economic
Development Administration (EDA),
and the United States Department of
Agriculture—Rural Development
(USDA–RD).
• Public comment concludes and
Commission staff provides the Federal
Co-Chair with a summary of public
comment and recommendations, if any,
associated with 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
their consideration 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.
FY 2012 Annual Work Plan (Amended)
In FY 2011, the typical annual Work
Plan process was not carried out.
Several factors contributed to this
including continuing resolutions (CRs)
passed by Congress late in the fiscal
year resulting in latent consideration of
the FY 2011 annual Work Plan by the
Commissioners (Commissioners met on
June 2, 2011 to consider the FY 2011
annual Work Plan). In addition, the final
FY 2011 budget included a rescission of
$15,000,000 in prior year unobligated
funds and uncertainty on how the
rescission may impact the FY 2011
Work Plan was not resolved until
September 2011.
With concurrence from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) and the
Secretary of Commerce, the amended
FY 2011 Work Plan will be processed
concurrently with the FY 2012 Work
