Accordingly, the Advisory Committee Management Officer for the Department of Defense, pursuant to 41 CFR 102–3.150(b), waives the 15calendar day notification requirement. This meeting is being held under the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C., Appendix), the Government in the Sunshine Act (5 U.S.C. 552b), and 41 CFR 102–3.140 and 102–3.150. Purpose of the Meeting: To obtain, review, and evaluate information related to the Board’s mission in advising the Secretary of Defense on overall DoD management and governance on (a) issues central to strategic DoD planning; (b) policy implications of U.S. force structure and force modernization and on DoD’s ability to execute U.S. defense strategy; (c) U.S. regional defense policies; and (d) other research and analysis of topics raised by the Secretary of Defense, Deputy Secretary of Defense, or Chief Management Officer (CMO) to allow the Board to provide informed, independent advice reflecting an outside private sector perspective of proven and effective best practices that can be applied to the DoD.

Panel participants will provide information on current issues and challenges, and engage in discussions involving commercial or financial information that is privileged or confidential. Mr. James Baker, Director, Office of Net Assessment (ONA) and Mr. David Ochmanek will provide a classified briefing on current and future strategic challenges to DoD. The meeting will adjourn at 3:00 p.m. Meeting Accessibility: In accordance with section 10(d) of the FACA and 41 CFR 102–3.155, the DoD has determined that the Board’s meeting will be closed to the public. Specifically, the CMO, after consultation with the DoD Office of General Counsel, has determined in writing that the meeting will be closed as it will consider commercial or financial information obtained from a person that is privileged or confidential covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(4), as well as classified information covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1). The 5 U.S.C. 552b(4) determination is based on the consideration that it is expected panel discussions will involve the sharing of commercial or financial information that is privileged or confidential by the private sector participants. The 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) determination is based on the consideration that the ONA briefing is classified and it is expected that discussions throughout the briefing will involve classified matters of national security concern. Such privileged and proprietary information and classified material are so intertwined with the unclassified material that the sessions cannot reasonably be segregated into separate discussions without defeating the effectiveness and meaning of the overall meeting. To permit the meeting to be open to the public would preclude any substantive discussion of such matters and would serve to greatly diminish the ultimate utility of the Board’s findings and recommendations to the Secretary of Defense, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, and to the CMO.

Notice. AGENCY: ACTION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:49 Aug 06, 2019 Jkt 247001 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). The 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. This Federal Register notice serves to announce the 30-day opportunity for public comment on the Denali Commission Draft Work Plan for Federal Fiscal Year 2020 (FY 2020). DATES: Comments and related material to be received by September 2, 2019. ADDRESSES: Submit comments to the Denali Commission, Attention: Elinda Hetami, 510 L Street, Suite 410, Anchorage, AK 99501. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elinda Hetami, Denali Commission, 510 L Street, Suite 410, Anchorage, AK 99501. Telephone: (907) 271–3415. Email: ehetemi@denali.gov. 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 well-trained 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. 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 2020 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 Denali.gov for review SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00018 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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 ten days 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 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. • The Federal Co-Chair then approves grants and contracts based upon the approved work plan. FY 2020 Appropriations Summary The Commission has historically received federal funding from several sources. The two primary sources at this time include the Energy & Water Appropriation Bill (‘‘base’’ or ‘‘discretionary’’ funds) and an annual allocation from the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Liability (TAPL) fund. The proposed FY 2020 Work Plan assumes the Commission will receive $15,000,000 of base funds, which is the E:\FR\FM\07AUN1.SGM 07AUN1

strategy; (c) U.S. regional defense policies; and (d) other research

Secretary of Defense, or Chief Management Officer (CMO) to allow the 
Board to provide informed, independent advice reflecting an outside 
private sector perspective of proven and effective best practices that 
can be applied to the DoD.
    Agenda: The meeting will begin on August 7, 2019 at 7:55 a.m. with 
opening remarks by Ms. Roma Laster, the Designated Federal Officer, and 
Mr. Atul Vashistha, Interim Board Chairman. The day's presentations

and private sector experts that will inform the Board's advice and 
recommendations to be provided on the CMO's ongoing reform efforts.

executives from Goldman Sachs, Activision, Ernst & Young, and Yale

with the DoD Office of General Counsel, has determined in writing that 
the meeting will be closed as it will consider commercial or financial 
information obtained from a person that is privileged or confidential

by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1). The 5 U.S.C. 552b(4) determination is based on 
the consideration that it is expected panel discussions will involve 
the sharing of commercial or financial information that is privileged 
or confidential by the private sector participants. The 5 U.S.C. 
552b(c)(1) determination is based on the consideration that the ONA 
briefing is classified and it is expected that discussions throughout 
the briefing will involve classified matters of national security 
concern. Such privileged and proprietary information and classified 
material are so intertwined with the unclassified material that the 
sessions cannot reasonably be segregated into separate discussions 
without defeating the effectiveness and meaning of the overall meeting. 
To permit the meeting to be open to the public would preclude any 
substantive discussion of such matters and would serve to greatly 
diminish the ultimate utility of the Board's findings and 
recommendations to the Secretary of Defense, the Deputy Secretary of 
Defense, and to the CMO.
