Re: Public Comment — Opportunity Zones 2.0 Census Tract Designation

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to submit recommendations regarding Puerto Rico's nomination of
census tracts for designation as Qualified Opportunity Zones under the One,
Big, Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) and Section 6070.54 of Act 60-2019.

I respectfully urge DDEC to designate AT LEAST 150 RURAL census tracts among
Puerto Rico's 178 allowable nominations. The Qualified Rural Opportunity Fund
(QROF) provisions of OZ 2.0 give Puerto Rico an unprecedented competitive
advantage: a 30% basis step-up that is available nowhere else at this scale.
To unlock that capital, fund managers need a critical mass of rural tract
inventory to anchor QROF formation.

In addition to this overall request, I am personally interested in seeing the
following census tracts designated:

• [No specific tracts selected — please add tracts via the map.]

Thank you for considering these recommendations during the public comment
period closing May 30, 2026.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
