P.R. Laws tit. 23, § 610
Upon request of the Authority, the Governor of Puerto Rico may, by the exercise of the right of eminent domain, acquire in the name and in behalf of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, title to any property or interest therein which the Board of Directors deems necessary or convenient for the purposes of the Authority. The Authority shall make available to said officer in advance such funds as may be required to pay for such property, and, upon acquisition thereof, shall reimburse the Commonwealth Government for any amount paid that has not been previously advanced. Upon such reimbursement to the Commonwealth Government (or, if the total cost or price has been previously advanced by the Authority, within such reasonable period as shall be determined by the Governor) title to the property so acquired shall pass to the Authority. The power hereby conferred shall not limit or restrict in any manner the power of the Authority to acquire property. The title to any property of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico heretofore or hereafter acquired, and considered necessary or convenient for the purposes of the Authority, may be transferred to the Authority by the official in charge of said property or having the custody thereof, upon such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Governor of Puerto Rico.
