Доклад Конгресса описывает попытки отстранить Надзорный совет по PROMESA

El peg de esta nota es el 6 de septiembre de 2026. El primary institucional es el informe CRS (EveryCRSReport) Attempted Dismissals of Members of Puerto Rico’s Financial Oversight and Management Board, actualizado el 22 de enero de 2026 (IN12598). Declaramos con claridad: la byline de actualización del CRS es enero de 2026; la fecha del diario es septiembre de 2026. Usamos el documento porque permanece la referencia institucional vigente sobre el intento de destituciones de la Junta de Supervisión Fiscal (FOMB) y sus efectos en PROMESA Title III.

According to the CRS, on August 1, 2025, the president sent notices of removal to five of the seven members of the FOMB: Arthur J. Gonzalez, Cameron McKenzie, Betty A. Rosa, Juan A. Sabater, and Luis A. Ubiñas. Subsequently, Andrew G. Biggs also received notice, according to the board itself. John E. Nixon was the only member who did not receive a notice of removal in that account. The primary emphasizes that PROMESA authorizes removal “for cause” (48 U.S.C. §2121(e)(5)(B)) and that the August notices, according to the litigants, did not articulate cause.

On September 18, 2025, Gonzalez, Rosa, and Biggs filed a lawsuit. On October 3, 2025, Federal Judge María Antongiorgi-Jordán granted a temporary restraining order, holding that the members “have never been properly removed from office” and barring the removal. The CRS records that on December 3, 2025, the plaintiffs filed an appeal. A temporary order is not a final ruling on the merits; accusation or theory of removal does not equate to conviction or dissolution of the Board.

The report details the appointment method under PROMESA §101(e): six members from congressional leadership lists and one at presidential discretion, with an alternative of senatorial nomination. It also summarizes voting thresholds: majority of the membership for fiscal plans and budgets; at least five votes to enter Title III. The board bylaws, according to CRS, require a quorum and, with exceptions, at least four affirmative votes for many actions. These rules matter when the number of active members is disputed.

In PREPA Title III —the last major restructuring case—, the CRS places the December 2022 settlement proposal at around 2.6 billion dollars to creditors (according to board estimates cited), the partial backing of the First Circuit to bondholders' positions in 2024, and the judicial pressure to negotiate. On August 8, 2025, the Title III court suspended deadlines and ordered the board to report the status of membership by August 25, 2025. Bondholders' coalitions, according to the CRS, preferred to pause until new appointments.

The primary also mentions, in the context of generation, a gas supply contract for 4 billion dollars with NFE signed in mid-September 2025 subject to Board approval, and previous board frictions over competition and flexibility. A contract signed by the local government is not, by itself, FOMB approval nor actual disbursement of that amount. Obligated ≠ awarded ≠ disbursed.

By September 6, 2026, the value of the CRS is institutional map: it explains why the governance of the Board affects certified budgets, fiscal plans, and the PREPA case. We do not invent the outcome of the appeal nor new appointments not documented in this primary. Nor do we turn political criticisms of board consultants into findings of theft.

Careful language: “attempted dismissals” is the framework of the CRS title; the federal TRO holds that the removal was not perfected. Journalists should avoid saying that “the Board was dissolved” if the primary says otherwise. Likewise, there is no criminal conviction of members in IN12598.

The crossover with economics is direct: without clarity of membership, budget certifications and electricity negotiations become complicated. The unemployment and GNP cited in other CRS products (for example TE10113) are not imported here as if they were in IN12598. Each primary maintains its perimeter.

File closure: peg 2026-09-06; byline CRS update 2026-01-22; URL everycrsreport.com/reports/IN12598.html; topic politics (PROMESA governance) with economic implication in PREPA; central claim = map of attempted removals, TRO and voting thresholds, without inventing any subsequent judicial outcome after the update.
