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

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

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
38605
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 152 / Wednesday, August 7, 2019 / Notices
amount referenced in the
reauthorization of the Commission
passed by Congress in 2016 (ref: Pub. L.
114–322), and a $2,917,000 TAPL
allocation based on discussions with the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). Approximately $2,500,000 of
the base funds will be used for
administrative expenses and non-project
program support, leaving $12,500,000
available for program activities. The
total base funding shown in the Work
Plan also includes an amount typically
available from project closeouts and
other de-obligations that occur in any
given year. Approximately $117,000 of
the TAPL funds will be utilized for
administrative expenses and non-project
program support, leaving $2,800,000
available for program activities. Absent
any new specific direction or limitations
provided by Congress in the current
Energy & Water Appropriations Bill,
these funding sources are governed by
the following general principles, either
by statute or by language in the Work
Plan itself:
• Funds from the Energy & Water
Appropriation are eligible for use in all
programs.
• TAPL funds can only be used for
bulk fuel related projects and activities.
• Appropriated funds may be reduced
due to Congressional action, rescissions
by OMB, and other federal agency
actions.
• All Energy & Water and TAPL
investment amounts identified in the
work plan, are ‘‘up to’’ amounts, and
may be reassigned to other programs
included in the current year work plan,
if they are not fully expended in a
program component area or a specific
project.
• Energy & Water and TAPL funds set
aside for administrative expenses that
subsequently become available, may be
used for program activities included in
the current year work plan.

In FY 2020 the Commission is moving
in a new direction to work closely with
other Federal Agencies, the State of
Alaska and regional/local entities with
the goal of identifying projects with
funding gaps that will allow the
Commission to use its small amount of
funding to move forward a large number
of projects. The Commission has already
begun to have conversations with many
of our Federal partners and intends to
prioritize shovel-ready projects where
the Commission can leverage its funds.
If the Commission is unable to fully
utilize its funding by April of 2020 then
it will use any remaining funds to fund
Energy and Bulk Fuel projects
consistent with a needs-based list
established in partnership with the State
of Alaska.

Denali Commission Fiscal Year 2020 Draft Work Plan
AGENCY: Denali Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Denali Commission (Commission) is an independent Federal
agency based on an innovative federal-state 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.

L Street, Suite 410, Anchorage, AK 99501. Telephone: (907) 271-3415.
Email: [email protected].
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 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
[[Page 38605]]
amount referenced in the reauthorization of the Commission passed by
Congress in 2016 (ref: Pub. L. 114-322), and a $2,917,000 TAPL
allocation based on discussions with the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB). Approximately $2,500,000 of the base funds will be used
for administrative expenses and non-project program support, leaving
$12,500,000 available for program activities. The total base funding
shown in the Work Plan also includes an amount typically available from
project closeouts and other de-obligations that occur in any given
year. Approximately $117,000 of the TAPL funds will be utilized for
administrative expenses and non-project program support, leaving
$2,800,000 available for program activities. Absent any new specific
direction or limitations provided by Congress in the current Energy &
Water Appropriations Bill, these funding sources are governed by the
following general principles, either by statute or by language in the
Work Plan itself:
Funds from the Energy & Water Appropriation are eligible
for use in all programs.
TAPL funds can only be used for bulk fuel related projects
and activities.
Appropriated funds may be reduced due to Congressional
action, rescissions by OMB, and other federal agency actions.
All Energy & Water and TAPL investment amounts identified
in the work plan, are ``up to'' amounts, and may be reassigned to other
programs included in the current year work plan, if they are not fully
expended in a program component area or a specific project.
Energy & Water and TAPL funds set aside for administrative
expenses that subsequently become available, may be used for program
activities included in the current year work plan.

In FY 2020 the Commission is moving in a new direction to work
closely with other Federal Agencies, the State of Alaska and regional/
local entities with the goal of identifying projects with funding gaps
that will allow the Commission to use its small amount of funding to
move forward a large number of projects. The Commission has already
begun to have conversations with many of our Federal partners and
intends to prioritize shovel-ready projects where the Commission can
leverage its funds. If the Commission is unable to fully utilize its
funding by April of 2020 then it will use any remaining funds to fund
Energy and Bulk Fuel projects consistent with a needs-based list
established in partnership with the State of Alaska.
Mertarvik, Shishmaref, Shaktoolik and Kivalina
In FY 2020 the Commission will continue to provide support to these
