rural Alaska and decided to allocate the 

IIJA funds as follows: 

—FY 2022 Workplan Amounts: In the 

FY 2022 Workplan the Commission 

noted that if additional funds became 

available then $5,000,000 would be 

allocated to Village Infrastructure 

Protection Program (VIP); $250,000 to 

Broadband and $2,000,000 for 

Workforce Development. The 

Commissioners decided to allocate 

$7,250,000 of the $75 million IIJA 

funds to these programs consistent 

with the FY 2022 Workplan. 

—5% of the $75 million ($3.75 million) 

will be allocated to cover 

administrative costs. This amount 

includes 0.5% of the funds being set 

aside for the Inspector General. 

—The remaining $64 million will be 

divided into a five year spend down 

plan in the following categories with 

yearly amounts of $1 million for 

Energy Reliability and Security; $1 

million for VIP; $1 million for 

Workforce Development; $10 million 

for the Infrastructure Fund and 

$550,000 set aside for Emergency 

situations. 

The Infrastruture Fund is a new 

process for the Commission. The 

Commission will use a public Funding 

Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to 

seek applications for funding projects 

across a wide range of program 

categories including Energy, 

Transportation, Healthcare and 

Community Wellness, VIP, Sanitation, 

Housing, Broadband, Economic 

Development and Workforce 

Development. Applications will be 

reviewed and ranked according to 

published criteria with the highest 

scoring applications receiving funding. 

The Commission used the following 

process to create the IIJA Workplan: 

• The Commissioners held several 

work sessions where they were briefed 

by program partners on specific program 

category areas to identify unmet needs 

in specific programs. 

• At a meeting of the Denali 

Commissioners the Commissioners 

voted to adopt the IIJA 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.
