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 2025 Work
Plan was developed in the following
manner.
• At a meeting of the Denali
Commissioners the Commissioners
voted to adopt the FY 2025 Workplan.
• The 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.
• No public comments were received.
• The Federal Co-Chair 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 will provide 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 will provide 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 2025 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), Transportation
Housing and Urban Development

(THUD) and an annual allocation from
the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Liability
(TAPL) fund. The proposed FY 2025
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), $18,000,000 from THUD, less
administrative expenses, 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. 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 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
while THUD funds can only be used for
Transportation.
• Appropriated funds may be reduced
due to Congressional action, rescissions
by OMB, and other federal agency
actions.
• All 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.
• Funds set aside for administrative
expenses that subsequently become
available, may be used for program
activities included in the current year
work plan.
