Narrative:

Conditions at mdpp were VFR with sct-broken clouds along the approach path. I briefed the RNAV (gnss) runway 08 approach. The captain added to my briefing that in addition to being aware of the nuisance warning described in our airport information pages; that he had previously gotten a nuisance warning once established on final. I slowed and configured early; hoping to avoid GPWS callouts. On final; descending in VNAV path; about 180 KTS and flaps 15 we got a single 'terrain-terrain; pull up' alert. Since we had briefed this and I could see the terrain; I continued the approach. It was interesting to me that the egpws gave no visual cautions at all.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: An air carrier flight crew in VMC flying the Runway 08 RNAV [GNSS] approach to MDPP received a single EGPWS Terrain warning which they determined to be inappropriate. Their airport briefing page noted a history of such warnings.
