SCENARIO C2: LEVEE IN FEDERAL SYSTEM/PAL AGREEMENT 

 

Letter of Agreement and Request for Provisionally Accredited Levee (PAL) Designation and Agreement to 
Provide Adequate Compliance With the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 44, Section 65.10 
(44 CFR 65.10) 

 

We, the undersigned, have received the letter from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) dated 
(Month of Scenario C2 Letter) (Day of Scenario C2 Letter), (Year of Scenario C2 Letter), and the enclosed 
document entitled “Requirements of 44 CFR 65.10.” We understand that FEMA is in the process of providing an 
updated flood map, termed a Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM), for (County or Community Name) 
and that the area behind the levee known as (Name of Levee) will be remapped to reflect that the levee has been 
designated as a PAL. 

 

To the best of our knowledge, the levee known as (Name of Levee) meets the requirements of 44 CFR 65.10. 
We hereby submit to FEMA, within 1 year (before (Month of 1 year Following Date of Scenario USACE 
Letter) (Day of 1 year Day Following Date of Scenario USACE Letter), (Year of 1 year Following Date of 
Scenario USACE Letter)) our agreement to provide FEMA with the necessary data and documentation to show 
that the levee known as (Name of Levee) complies with 44 CFR 65.10. We understand that the data and 
documentation will be required before (Month of Second Anniversary Following Date of the Last Day of 
Correction Period) (Day of Second Anniversary of the Last Day of Correction Period), (Year of Second 
Anniversary of the Last Day of Correction Period). This information will allow FEMA to move forward with 
the DFIRM for (County or Community Name). We fully understand that if complete data and documentation to 
comply with 44 CFR 65.10 are not provided within the designated timeframe of 24 months, FEMA will initiate a 
revision to the DFIRM to redesignate the area as Special Flood Hazard Area, the area subject to inundation by the 
base (1-percent-annual-chance) flood.
