Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act ‐ H.R. 3684 ‐ AEA Summary Section (IIJA)Program Title Technology ProgramDescription/NotesAggregate Federal Funding AppropriationEstimated Funding for AK State of AK Match Requirement Notes on AK Funding Estimate11109 Surface Transportation Block GrantElectric Vehicles - BetsyIn addition to standard eligible infrastructure projects, this section adds the installation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure and vehicle-to-grid infrastructure as eligible projects. Total Federal Appropriation =$273,150,000,00028.74% of base appropriation for Surface Transportation Block ProgramTotal appropriation by FY:FY22: $52,488,065,375FY23: $53,537,826,683FY24: $54,608,583,217FY25: $55,700,754,881FY26: $56,814,769,844 $990,000,000 DOTPF DOTPF may have higher priority eligible infrastructure projects than EVSE. The State is required to allocate a proportion of funds on certain types of projects as well as by population and to prioritize some geographic locations. Projects also need to be included in the STIP.Amount AK will receive was based on 2% more than AK's FY21 apportionment with penalties, and 1% more than previous FY. 28.74% of base appropriation allocated for Surface Transportation Block Program.11401 Grants for Charging and Fueling InfrastructureElectric Vehicles - BetsyAlternative Fuel Corridor RedesignationWithin 180 days of enactment, the Transportation Secretary is required to consult with federal agencies, state and local officials, as well as other entities to redisgnate highway corridors as Alternative Fuel Corridor Ready (corridor with EV DC fast chargers or alternative fueling stations located no more than 50 miles apart) or Corridor Pending (corridor that is targeted to achieve Corridor Ready status, but does not yet meet the criteria). Alternate Fuel Corridor GrantsWithin a year of enactment, a grant program will be established for state, local, and tribal governments, port authorities or metropolitan planning organizations to work with private entities to acquire, install, and operate and maintain alternative fuel infrastructure along FHWA-designated Alternative Fuel Corridors for 5 years. Community Grants50% of program funds will be set-aside annually for competitive grants to expand publically-accessible alternative fuel infrastructure with priority to rural, underserved communities, and multi-unit dwellings. Community grants can also be used for preconstruction work, such as, planning, feasibility analysis, environmental review, revenue forecasting, preliminary design and engineering; and up to 5% can be used for public education and outreach. Community grants are capped at $15M per project. Total: $2,500,000,000FY22: $300,000,000FY23: $400,000,000FY24: $500,000,000FY25: $600,000,000FY26: $700,000,000Competitive application processAdministration's goal is to have 500,000 EV charging stations to meet projected 2030 EV market. Based on population, AK would need 1,097 charging stations to meet that goal.Federal share not to exceed 80% total project costs; Private Entities (subgrantees) required to provide 20% match.No State match requirement. However, AEA estimates a need for $200,000 annually for staff time for planning and preparation of grant applications; procurements; distributing the funds; and managing subgrants/projects.About half of these funds can only be used for purposes of EV charging infrastructure development along designated alternative fuel corridors (AFCs). It is important for the State to get clarification on flexibility of AFC criteria and then decide to nominate the National Highway System highways and ferry/port terminals, and other roads if allowed, as Corridor Pending to make full use of these funds.Alaska currently has one Corridor Pending highway route from Anchorage to Fairbanks and no Corridor Ready routes. 11507 Denali Commission Rural - Tim For an additional amount for "Denali Commission", $75,000,000 to remain available until expended: Provided further, that such amount is designated by the Congress as being for an emergency requirement pursuant to section 4112(a) of H. Con. Res. 71 (115th Congress), the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018 and to section 251(b) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Control Act of 1985. $75,000,000 $75,000,000 $15,000,000 Updated: 01/28/2022Page 1 of 53/24/2022

Such eligible projects include but are not limited to: "overall cost-effectiveness of energy generation, transmission, or distribution systems; siting or upgrading transmission and distribution lines; and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from energy generation by rural or remote areas."$1,000,000,000 Competitive application process20% match requirement as per 42 U.S. Code § 16352State Cost Share = 20%40106 Transmission Facilitation ProgramTransmission - Kirk$50M for FY2022 to FY2026 for the establishment of a "Transmission Facilitation Fund" by which the DOE shall facilitate the construction of electric power transmission lines and related facilities. In addition to the 5 year $10M appropriation, the program will also establish a $2.5B revolving loan fund that allows DOE to serve as an “anchor tenant” for a new transmission line or an upgrade of an existing line. DL: eligible transmission lines required to have capacity of 1GW if new. Upgrades to existing lines or new lines in existing corridors must have 500MW capacity. These minimums are much greater than currently contemplated transmission line upgrades in Alaska. The only exceptions are an HVDC line from the North Slope to the Railbelt or a connection to Canada. This should be confirmed with the Railbelt utilities.$50,000,000 Competitive application process100% matchLoan program (100% match) ‐ subject to some potential loan forgiveness clauses.40109 State Energy ProgramAEEE - Taylor Allocates $500M, distributed in accordance with the applicable distribution formula in effect for 01/01/2021.

Similar to other DOE RE programs, the match requirement and state applicant eligibility is defined on a case by case basis, depending on the agency that the funds are administered through. More information should become available on these programs as the adminstration plan is revealed by DOE. The Funding Opportunity Working Group will continue to monitor the relevant offices for funding announcements.

Must develop a plan for disbursing the funds and developing the charging network and submit to Department of Transportation for approval. If the plan is not submitted or approved, the funds for that FY will be provided to localities within the state or disbursed to other states if they cannot be used by the localities.$5,000,000,000 total$300,000,000 for Federal Joint Office10% set aside for assistance grants for States and localitiesRemaining funds follow base apportionment under Section 104(c) of title 23 USC.$51,000,000 $1,500,000Federal share not to exceed 80% total project costs; State or Private Entities (subgrantees) can provide 20% match. State will need to fund planning, interagency coordination, stakeholder outreach, GIS support, and reporting prior to federal funding being available. If 10% set aside for assistance is apportioned to AK and state required to provide 20% match, then state would need $1,500,000.These funds can only be used for purposes of EV charging infrastructure development. Amount AK will receive was estimated from AK's FY21 apportionment after penalties applied to 90% of the funds. The AK funding estimate does not include the 10% set aside for assistance grants to states and localities because it is not clear if that will be competitive or apportioned.These funds can only be used for purposes of EV charging infrastructure development along designated alternative fuel corridors (AFCs) until they are fully built out. It is important for the State to get clarification on flexibility of AFC criteria and then decide to nominate the National Highway System highways and ferry/port terminals and other roads if allowed as Corridor Pending to make full use of these funds.Alaska currently has one Corridor Pending highway route from Anchorage to Fairbanks and no Corridor Ready routes.
