To the Honorable United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain:

1. On April 1, 2020, this Court entered the Order (A) Authorizing Alternative Dispute 

Resolution Procedures, (B) Approving Additional Form of Notice, and (C) Granting Related Relief

[ECF No. 12576] (the “ADR Order”). On December 20, 2022, this Court entered the Order Granting 

Motion of the Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico to Amend Alternative 

Dispute Resolution Procedures [ECF No. 23113] (the “Amended ADR Order”). The Amended ADR 

Order authorizes the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (the “Commonwealth”), the Puerto Rico 

Highways and Transportation Authority (“HTA”), the Employees Retirement System of the 

Government of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (“ERS”), the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority 

(“PREPA”), and the Puerto Rico Public Buildings Authority (“PBA,” and together with the 

Commonwealth, HTA, ERS, and PREPA, the “Debtors”) to resolve general unsecured claims using 

the procedures approved by the court in the Amended ADR Order [ECF No. 23113-1] (the “ADR 

Procedures”).

2. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Amended ADR Order, the 

Debtors have filed thirty notices transferring claims (collectively, the “ADR Designated Claims”) into 

the ADR Procedures (as defined in the Amended ADR Order), and have transferred approximately

1,500 claims into the ADR Procedures.

3. On March 12, 2020, the Court entered the Order (A) Authorizing Administrative 

Reconciliation of Claims, (B) Approving Additional Form of Notice, and (C) Granting Related Relief

[ECF No. 12274] (the “ACR Order”), authorizing the Debtors to resolve certain Pension/Retiree 

Claims, Tax Refund Claims, Public Employee Claims, and Grievance Claims (each as defined in the 

ACR Order) utilizing the Debtors’ existing administrative reconciliation processes (the “ACR 

Procedures”).

4. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the ACR Order, the Debtors have 

filed thirty-one notices transferring claims into the ACR Procedures (as defined in the ACR Order), 

and have transferred approximately 45,317 claims (collectively, the “ACR Designated Claims”), into 

the ACR Procedures. The ACR Designated Claims will be resolved utilizing the Pension/Retiree 

Procedures, the Tax Refund Procedures, the Public Employee Procedures, and/or the Grievance 

Procedures (each as defined in the ACR Order), as set forth in the ACR Transfer Notices.

5. In light of information received from the claimants following the transfer of claims, 

the Debtors have determined that certain ADR Designated Claims will be most efficiently resolved

via the ACR Procedures and that certain ACR Designated Claims will be most efficiently resolved 

via the ADR Procedures. Accordingly, the Debtors hereby remove from the ADR Procedures the 

claims identified on Exhibit A hereto, and remove from the ACR Procedures the claims identified on 

Exhibit B hereto.
