What is the status of a Provisionally Accredited Levee (PAL) in FEMA's view?

Certified as meeting all NFIP regulations
Awaiting data/documentation for compliance
Deemed non-compliant with flood regulations
Removed from consideration for flood protection

The correct answer is: Awaiting data/documentation for compliance

A Provisionally Accredited Levee (PAL) is not necessarily certified as meeting all NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program) regulations, so A is incorrect. A PAL is also not deemed non-compliant with flood regulations, so C is incorrect. Similarly, a PAL is not removed from consideration for flood protection, so D is incorrect. The correct answer is B because a PAL is a designation that indicates that a levee has not yet been fully accredited, but it is expected to meet the necessary regulations pending the submission and review of necessary data and documentation.
