On June 17, 2011, the Commission 

published in the Federal Register a 

proposed FY 2011 Work Plan. The 

Commission met subsequently and 

recommended an amended FY 2011 

Work Plan, as presented in this 

document. 

Several factors contributed to this 

amended FY 2011 Work Plan including 

continuing resolutions (CRs) passed by 

Congress late in the fiscal year resulting 

in latent consideration of the FY 2011 

annual Work Plan by the 

Commissioners (Commissioners met on 

June 2, 2011 to consider the FY 2011 

annual Work Plan). In addition, the final 

FY 2011 budget included a rescission of 

$15,000,000 in prior year unobligated 

funds and uncertainty on how the 

rescission may impact the FY2011 Work 

Plan was not resolved until September 

2011. 

With concurrence from the Office of 

Management and Budget and the 

Secretary of Commerce, the amended 

FY 2011 annual Work Plan will be 

processed concurrently with the FY 

2012 Work Plan. The FY 2012 annual 

Work Plan is not included as part of this 

amended FY 2011 annual Work Plan 

document. 

Changes are as follows. 

Final FY 2011 funding received is 

provided in the table below.
