DENALI COMMISSION 

Denali Commission Fiscal Year 2010 

Draft Work Plan 

AGENCY: Denali Commission. 

ACTION: Denali Commission Fiscal Year 

2010 Draft Work Plan request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: 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 

in training in Alaska by delivering 

Federal services in the most costeffective 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 U.S.C. 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. 

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 2010. 

DATES: Comments and related material 

must be received by March 15, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments to the 

Denali Commission, Attention: Valerie 

Boyd, 510 L Street, Suite 410, 

Anchorage, AK 99501. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Valerie Boyd, Denali Commission, 510 L 

Street, Suite 410, Anchorage, AK 99501. 

Telephone: (907) 271–1414. E-mail: 

vboyd@denali.gov. 

Background: 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 

well-trained 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 

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 provide 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 notices 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 Work Plan authorizes the Federal 

Co-Chair to enter into grant agreements, 

award grants and contracts and obligate 

the Federal funds identified by 

appropriation below. 

FY10 Appropriations Summary 

The Denali Commission has 

historically received several Federal 

funding sources. These fund sources are 

governed by the following general 

principles: 

• In FY 2010 no project specific 

earmarks were directed. 

• The Energy and Water 

Appropriation is eligible for use in all 

programs, but has historically been used 

substantively to fund the Energy 

Program. 

• The Energy Policy Act of 2005 

established new authorities for the 

Commission’s Energy Program, with an 

emphasis on renewable and alternative 

energy projects. No new funding 

accompanied the Energy Policy Act, and
