§15911 Denali Commission

Summary

The Commission must use money from subsection (d) to run energy programs. These programs cover energy generation from renewables and alternative sources (for example fuel cells, hydro, solar, wind, wave, and tidal), building and upgrading transmission lines (including interties), replacing and cleaning up fuel tanks, building fuel transport networks and related facilities, running power cost equalization programs, and supporting coal projects including coal gasification. The "Commission" means the Denali Commission set up by the Denali Commission Act of 1998. Commission meetings must be open to the public when members take action or discuss official business, except for parts the Commission votes to close for the reasons listed in section 552b(c)(2), (4), (5), or (6) of title 5. At least one week before a meeting, the Commission must announce the time, place, topic, whether it is open or closed, and a contact name and phone number, and must announce any changes as soon as possible. The Commission must keep and make public a transcript, recording, or minutes of each meeting, except for closed parts. Up to $55,000,000 is authorized for each of fiscal years 2006 through 2015 to carry out these energy programs.
