Rico Electric Power Authority [Docket No. 3204] (the “Motion”).2

 The Committee respectfully 

states as follows: 

1. Because the Amended Disclosure Statement introduces important and material 

changes to the prior version of the disclosure statement filed on December 16, 2022, the 

Committee believes that it is appropriate to provide parties in interest with the opportunity to 

prepare supplemental objections to the Amended Disclosure Statement. 

2. The Committee, therefore, joins in the relief sought in the Motion and requests 

leave to file, by February 17, 2023 at 3:00 p.m. (Atlantic Standard Time), a supplemental 

objection to the Amended Disclosure Statement. As noted in the Motion, the Oversight Board 

has consented to such relief.
