RE: Request to Extend USACE Mission Assignment for Temporary Power
Dear Mr. Marrero:

This letter reSponds to your April 29, 2018 request to extend the United States Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) Mission Assignment (MA) to support Puerto Rico Electric Power
Authority?s (PREPA) request for temporary power through mega generators providing grid
stabilization and supply of power generation for approximately 850 critical facilities and
infrastructure locations.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (F EMA) has approved the extension of the
USACE MA for emergency power restoration as follows:

0 Lease, Operation and Maintenance for the three mega generators until PREPA completes
the purchase of those three generators. Once the purchase is complete, the lease and
maintenance will terminate;

0 Logistics and materials management for power grid stabilization - PREPA is in the
process of procuring a logistics management team and will transition with USACE to the
new team; and

0 Temporary Power Generators for approximately 700 critical facilities and infrastructure
locations.

As of May 18, 2018, USACE will no longer provide line restoration work for PREPA per the
direction provided by the Energy Uni?ed Command Group and con?rmed by the PREPA Chief
Executive Of?cer.

To ensure our readiness and preparedness efforts are coordinated as we approach the 2018
Hurricane Season, 1 request PREPA provide a plan describing how PREPA will support current
and future temporary power needs. This includes prioritizing which generators should remain on
the island, and which generators can be removed to better allocate limited resources to those in
greatest need.

Developing this plan is part of our overall joint planning for the upcoming hurricane season, and
will require continued collaboration and action from all partners. Investing our time in this
engagement now will result in enabling us to act quickly and decisively should a major event
impacting the still-fragile power grid occur, and ensure Puerto Rico builds back more resiliently.

Sincerely,

Mich%

Federal Coordinating Officer
