P.R. Laws tit. 5, § 1023
(a) A party state may apply for assistance from the Insurance Fund regarding a pest in a nonparty state. The application shall be considered and disposed of by the Governing Board or Executive Committee in the same manner as an application with respect to a pest within a party state, except as provided in this section.
(b) At or in connection with any meeting of the Governing Board or Executive Committee held pursuant to § 1021(d) of this title, a nonparty state is entitled to appear, participate, and receive information only to the extent as the Governing Board or Executive Committee provides. A nonparty may not review any determination made by the Executive Committee.
(c) The Governing Board or Executive Committee shall authorize expenditures from the Insurance Fund to be made in a nonparty state only after determining that the conditions in such state and the value of such expenditures to the party states, as a whole justify the expenditures. The Governing Board or Executive Committee may set any conditions that it deems appropriate regarding the expenditure of moneys from the Insurance Fund in a nonparty state and may enter into any agreements with nonparty states and other jurisdictions or entities as it deems necessary or appropriate to protect the interests of the Insurance Fund, with respect to expenditures and activities outside of party states.
