The simple answer is no, but I wish it weren't so. Here is the
answer from RUSA.ORG:

How do I qualify for PBP?
RUSA applies the ACP's normal PBP entrance requirements: all would-be
PBP participants must do a Super Randonneur brevet series (200-, 300-
, 400-, and 600-kilometer events) in the year of PBP, finishing the
series by mid-June. Each qualifying brevet must be on the calendar of
the Randonneurs Mondiaux and run under the guidelines of the ACP.
