SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As stated
in Executive Order 14019, Promoting
Access to Voting,1 the right to vote is the
foundation of American democracy.
Under section 7 of Executive Order
14019, (Ensuring Equal Access for
Voters with Disabilities), NIST is
directed to evaluate the steps needed to
ensure that the online Federal Voter
Registration Form is accessible to
people with disabilities and identify
barriers to private and independent
voting for people with disabilities and
make recommendations to remove these
barriers. NIST is seeking public
comment on the Draft Promoting Access
to Voting: Recommendations for
Addressing Barriers to Private and
Independent Voting for People with
Disabilities document. The Draft was
developed by NIST using information
collected through the Request for
Information (RFI) that was published in
the Federal Register on June 16, 2021,
review of reports, papers and other
literature, and engagement with
stakeholder organizations and election
officials.
Request for Comment
NIST seeks public comments on the
draft Promoting Access to Voting:
Recommendations for Addressing
Barriers to Private and Independent
Voting for People with Disabilities
document and the draft
recommendations contained in it
regarding both the Federal Voter
Registration Form as well as the barriers
it has identified that prevent people
with disabilities from exercising their
fundamental rights and the ability to
vote privately and independently. NIST
is seeking comment from persons with
disabilities, disability advocacy groups,
assistive technology vendors and
professionals, non-partisan voting
promotion groups, voting technology
vendors, election officials and other key
stakeholders.
The Draft is available electronically
from the NIST website at: https://
www.nist.gov/itl/voting as well as
www.regulations.gov. A comment
template is available at: https://
www.nist.gov/itl/voting. Use of the
comment template is suggested but not
required. Interested parties should
submit comments in accordance with
the DATES and ADDRESSES section of this
notice.
Comments containing references,
studies, research, and other empirical
data that are not widely published
should include copies of the referenced
materials. All submissions, including
attachments and other supporting
materials, will become part of the public
record and subject to public disclosure.
NIST reserves the right to publish
relevant comments publicly, unedited
and in their entirety. All relevant
comments received will be made
publicly available at https://
www.nist.gov/itl/voting and
regulations.gov.
Personally identifiable information
(PII), such as street addresses, phone
numbers, account numbers or Social
Security numbers, or names of other

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 Denali Commission 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 2022 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 2022 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 2022 Work Plan assumes
the Commission will receive
$15,000,000 of base funds, which is the
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 $4,000,000 of
the base funds will be used for
administrative expenses and non-project
program support, leaving $11,000,000
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
