Abstract: Listing of programs, services and funds provided by various US Federal Government Agencies in, or two, Territories and the Freely Associated States. Also referenced as the "Report on U.S. Federal Financial Assistance to the U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands" these annual reports were a multi-agency collaboration.
"..The Federal Regional Council (FRC) is a consortium of nineteen Federal Departments and Agencies representing nearly thirty program offices in Region IX working in partnership to better serve the public. Our goal is to work in a coordinated manner to make Federal programs more effective and efficient in Region IX. The FRC, which just celebrated its twelfth anniversary, has a number of committees focused upon broad geographic areas and/or special populations in the vast expanse of Region IX. These five entities for 2010 are the Border Committee, the Tribal Affairs Committee, the Faith-Based Committee, the Homelessness Committee (Region IX Interagency Council on Homelessness), and the Outer Pacific Committee (OPC). The OPC includes the Guam-CNMI Build-up Committee/Task Force that was established in 2009 to address issues relating to the relocation of military personnel from Okinawa, Japan to Guam and to coordinate Federal agency support to Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands as they prepare for the buildup in terms of programs and technical assistance, where possible. Executive Orders or Administration initiatives serve as the underlying authority to guide each committee’s work in fulfilling Administration priorities. The OPC deals with issues related to the three U.S. Flag Territories: Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI); and the three Freely Associated States: Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), and Republic of Palau (ROP). This annual report captures funding information provided primarily by the Federal programs that are active in the Pacific jurisdictions and based in Region IX, although input has also been included from select programs operating from central offices on the East coast. However, the report is not completely encompassing since non-Region IX-based Federal entities with potentially supporting programs such as the Department of Defense, USAID and possibly others are not included. Each year we have identified additional Region IX-based agencies to include in the report and we will continue to add new agencies as we become aware of their funding and program information..."
