  3. Provisionally Accredited Levee (PAL) • A levee that FEMA has previously credited with providing 1-percent annual chance protection on an effective FIRM or DFIRM, for which FEMA is awaiting data and/or documentation that will show the levee’s compliance with Section 65.10 of the NFIP regulations. • PALs are part of the MLI.
