SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Denali Commission withdraws a Proposed 
Rule ``* * * to establish 45 CFR Chapter IX and to add regulations for 
implementing the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA).'' 
The effective date of withdrawal is March 9, 2006. The Proposed Rule 
was published in the Federal Register on August 10, 2004. The Denali 
Commission intends to adopt guidelines for implementing NEPA provisions 
that are consistent with it's method of operation. Consistent with the 
provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act, the Commission has 
decided to use guidelines for its required NEPA implementation 
procedures instead of promulgating regulations in order to maintain 
greater flexibility to implement any changes to these procedures as may 
be necessary in the future.

George J. Cannelos,
Federal Co-Chair.
