8/10/25 7930.2U CHG 1 Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) Explanation of Changes Change 1 Effective: August 10, 2025 a. 1–4–6. DEFINITIONS 2–1–3. PUBLICATION CRITERIA 2–1–9. COMPUTER PRINTOUTS 5–2–1. LIGHTING AIDS 7–2–1. FDC NOTAM EXPIRATION/CANCELLATION Appendix E. E–6. RETRIEVING FDC NOTAMS This change revises language in multiple paragraphs to be inclusive of all certificated part 139 airports to have access to the FAA NOTAM system. It also removed the requirement for a cancellation NOTAM to be issued upon the cancellation of original FDC NOTAM. b. 3–1–2. FDC PRESIDENTIAL, SPECIAL SECURITY INSTRUCTIONS, OR EMERGENCY AIR TRAFFIC RULES TFRs Appendix D. D–2. FDC PRESIDENTIAL, SPECIAL SECURITY INSTRUCTIONS, OR EMERGENCY AIR TRAFFIC RULES TFRs This change addresses the procedure that was required for acknowledgment of identified FDC NOTAMs. With automation of coordination and external stakeholders providing flight planning and pilot informational briefings, the requirement for acknowledgement of certain FDC NOTAMs is not necessary. The procedures of processing the identified FDC NOTAMs for the watch supervisor, controller−in−charge (CIC), or designated lead specialist (DLS) responsibility were updated in this order until future update in FAA Order JO 7110.10, Flight Services. The requirement for USNOF to issue an FDC list has also been removed and is no longer part of the watch checklist. c. 7–1–1. GENERAL 7–1–5. TEMPORARY FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS Appendix A. 7–1–5. TEMPORARY FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS This change addresses the addition of Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) for unmanned aircraft (49 U.S.C. section 44812) within Chapter 7 and Appendix A, updating Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) TFR examples. This change incorporates and cancels N 7930.115, effective August 7, 2025. d. Editorial Changes An editorial change to Appendix A, paragraph 7−1−4, updates the example to reference the correct regulation 14 CFR § 91.144 and includes the waiver language, ensuring that operators understand the need for compliance or special authorization. e. Entire Publication Additional editorial/format changes were made where necessary. Revision bars were not used because of the insignificant nature of these changes. Explanation of Changes E of C−1

The certified source (NOTAM originator) that enters the NOTAM data is responsible for classifying, formatting, cancelling, and informing the controlling facility and other facilities/offices affected by the aid, service, or hazard contained in the new NOTAM. NOTE− 1. In the contiguous United States (CONUS), Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Guam, ARTCC Flight Data Units perform required NOTAM coordination. In Alaska, Flight Service performs the required NOTAM coordination. 2. During contingency events or for scheduled outages, Flight Service may be directed to perform manual NOTAM coordination for ATC facilities in the CONUS, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Guam as needed. b. Any certified source that receives information is responsible for the accuracy, currency, and validity of the NOTAM. When a certified source receives information that is outside their area of responsibility, they will inform the accountable organization. c. FSSs must accept all aeronautical information. Information obtained from other than authorized personnel must be confirmed before issuance. NOTAM data received from state inspectors or state contracted inspectors must be confirmed by airport managers or appropriate authority before issuance of NOTAMs except in case of data that presents an immediate hazard to aircraft operations. If a NOTAM is issued without confirmation, advise the airport manager as soon as possible. In case of conflict between airport management and the named state airport inspector, contact FAA regional airports personnel for resolution. Conditions requiring a NOTAM should be coordinated with the appropriate air traffic facilities. REFERENCE− FAA Order 7930.2, Para 5−1−2, Handling Reported Aerodrome Conditions. d. Tie−in Stations. The Flight Service Directorate must designate an FSS as tie−in point for NOTAM purposes for all facilities in the NAS. The facilities assigned should normally be within the confines of the FSS’s flight plan area. Letters of agreement between facilities or other agencies and the FSS should be executed to assure proper handling of NOTAMs: e. Inform the controlling facility of all Obstruction Light Outage NOTAMs that meet one of the following criteria: 1. The obstruction is located 6 NM or less from an airport. 2. The obstruction is more than 400 feet AGL. 3. Identified by the terminal facility as one not meeting the criteria stated in e1 or e2 above; however, has been deemed necessary for the safety of operations (for example, depicted on the radar video map). f. A Domestic NOTAM will auto−reject if it is over 20 lines. Ensure the NOTAM meets AFTN capability prior to originating NOTAM. g. When a NOTAM is rejected, it is not distributed. It will not be stored in the NOTAM master file, and it will not be available by request−reply. Error messages are not stored in the master file. h. ARTCCs are responsible for forwarding FDC and special activity airspace (SAA) NOTAM information to the affected terminal facilities. 3−1−2.

MILITARY NOTAMs a. See Appendix D for further information regarding military NOTAMs/functions/facilities. b. See Appendix E for further information with regard to retrieving military NOTAMs and service messages. 3−1−4. DURATION OF NOTAM NOTAM must only address the time that the activity or condition is taking place. Temporary changes anticipated to last less than three months are considered to be information of short duration, which is distributed by NOTAM. When a temporary change, condition or activity is expected to exceed three months in advance of NOTAM issuance, it is considered to be information of long duration. Consideration should be given for publication of the long duration temporary change of condition until the subject of the NOTAM is returned to normal operation. 3−1−5. PERMANENT (PERM) NOTAM PROCESS a. When a NOTAM is originated for a permanent change to published aeronautical information, “PERM” must be inserted in lieu of a 10-figure date−time group end of validity time. Prior to issuance of a PERM NOTAM, the accountable organization must demonstrate that the publication process has been initiated. The originator is required to enter a temporary NOTAM until they are able to confirm the initiation of the publication process. b.

Each type of lighting requires separate NOTAMs. Technical Operations must be made aware of any runway approach lighting outages, as this is the office that maintains the equipment. When describing restrictions, use Runway Centerline (RCL) with visual navigational aids. NOTAMs regarding lighting aids are originated as follows: a. Commissioning 1. Approach lighting systems (ALS). (a) Only use the runway direction for which the equipment pertains. (b) When commissioning approach light systems, indicate the exact type of system (MALSR, MALSF, etc.). Once commissioned and published, approach light systems need only be shown as ALS. 2. Runway edge lights (REDL). When commissioning runway edge light systems, indicate the exact type of system (LIRL, MIRL, HIRL, etc.). Once commissioned and published, runway edge lights must only be shown as REDL. b. Lead−in lights. Runway lead−in light system (RLLS). c. Approach light systems (ALS). 1. ALS Outage (a) Complete loss or dual mode with loss or unavailability of both ALS and SSALR capability. (b) Dual mode with loss or unavailability of ALS capability only. (c) When the ALS has been changed to the simplified, short ALS with runway alignment lights, issue the condition as temporarily changed (“NOW”). Do not use unserviceable (U/S). 2. Sequence flashing light (SEQUENCED FLG LGT). 3. One−thousand−foot bar (1000−FOOT BAR). 4. Runway alignment indicator light (RAI LGT). 5. Runway threshold light (RTHL).

GENERAL FDC NOTAMs refer to information that is normally regulatory in nature and includes, but is not limited to, the following: a. Interim IFR flight procedures. 1. Air traffic service route changes. 2. Instrument flight procedure changes to include special instrument flight procedures, Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP), textual and graphic Obstacle Departure Procedures (ODP), Standard Instrument Departures (SID), and Standard Terminal Arrivals (STAR). Refer to FAA Order 8260.19, Flight Procedures and Airspace, for policy guidance and procedures for the issuance, tracking, and cancellation of FDC NOTAMs relating to instrument flight procedures. 3. Airspace changes in general. For FDC NOTAMs that are generated due to unforeseen events, use keyword/title “AIRSPACE…NOTICE”. b. Temporary flight restrictions. 1. Unmanned aircraft over large public gatherings. 2. Disaster/hazard areas. 3. Hijacking. 4. Aerial demonstrations. 5. Space flight operations. 6. Flight restrictions in the proximity of the President and other parties. NOTE− Presidential aircraft includes the aircraft and the entourage of the President, the Vice President, or other public figures designated by the White House. REFERENCE− FAA Order JO 7210.3, Chapter 5, Section 1, Presidential Aircraft. c. 14 CFR Part 139 certificated airport condition changes. d. Air defense emergencies. e. Emergency flight rules f.

7930.2U 6/9/25 3/15/07 7110.65R CHG 2 7930.2U CHG 1 8/10/25 b. NOTAMS for temporary conditions must be identified by the addition of “EST” following the expiration date/time group. NOTAMs for permanent conditions must be identified by inserting “PERM” in lieu of an expiration date/time group. c. FDC NOTAMs of a permanent nature, relating to instrument approach and obstacle departure procedures and airways, must remain current until published in the Terminal Procedures Publication or applicable en route chart. 7−1−3. INSTRUMENT IFR FLIGHT PROCEDURES a. Instrument Flight Procedure (IFP) NOTAM. Changes to IFPs that have been charted and distributed, are processed as FDC NOTAMs and issued through the NS. Procedural NOTAMS are originated by FAA Flight Operations and FAA Flight Inspection and Procedures personnel. When these revisions cannot be published in advance of their effective date, the NOTAM is transmitted as an FDC NOTAM. The applicable keyword (ODP, SID, STAR, CHART, DATA, IAP, VFP, ROUTE, or SPECIAL) will be included immediately following the location identifier designator. NOTE− The USNOF is responsible for Quality Control on Interim IFR Flight Procedure NOTAMs. 1. Procedural minimums must not be lowered by NOTAM unless fully justified as a safety of flight issue or after returning the minimums to their previously published level at the end of the NOTAM. 2. Both temporary and permanent conditions may be promulgated via an FDC NOTAM at the direction of AIS. b. Temporary conditions. NOTAMS for temporary conditions whose expiration time is uncertain and approximate, must be identified by the addition of “EST” following the NOTAM date/time group. The “EST” suffix may be used with all IFP temporary NOTAMs. 1. When it is known that the condition requiring a PERM NOTAM will be effective for more than four chart cycles (224 days), a procedure amendment [revised 8260−series form] or PERM NOTAM must be submitted as soon as possible to allow publication of the change within the 224−day timeframe. 2. When the timeframe for temporary conditions requiring NOTAM action is unknown or cannot be determined and the condition is beyond the control of the NOTAM issuing authority; e.g., airport construction, NAVAID restrictions, temporary obstructions, etc., the NOTAM issuing authority will ensure the line of business (LOB) approving the temporary condition is advised (copy the Flight Technologies and Procedures Division, AFS−400) of the procedural impact and the necessity of reconciling the condition as soon as possible so the temporary NOTAM can be canceled within the 224−day timeframe. 3. If the condition cannot be corrected within 224 days, the NOTAM issuing authority must obtain Flight Standards approval from AFS−400 for the NOTAM to remain in effect beyond the 224−day limitation. It is important that NOTAMs not be allowed to remain active for excessive periods of time; therefore, an FDC IFP NOTAM must not be canceled and re−issued without Flight Standards approval. NOTE− Requests for Flight Standards approval must be coordinated with AFS−400 as soon as the requirement is known. For example, it is known that a temporary crane affecting an IFP(s) will be in place for 10 months as soon as it is erected; therefore, forward the approval request for extension immediately. c. Permanent conditions. When the condition requiring NOTAM action is known to be permanent or is expected to be effective for more than four charting cycles (224 days), a permanent NOTAM is used to promulgate amended SIAPs and textual ODPs as well as correction information for U.S. Government aeronautical charts. 1. Identify permanent NOTAMs by inserting “PERM,” meaning the condition is permanent, instead of an actual date/time group. Procedural amendments may be charted from the permanent NOTAM information and may also be used as a substitute for the abbreviated amendment process within the limitations specified in Order 8260.19. 7−1−2 Transmitting FDC NOTAM Data
7930.2U 6/9/25 8/10/25 7930.2U CHG 1 2. IFP permanent NOTAMs contain information that is complete for charting purposes and are promulgated in the bi−weekly Transmittal Letter (TL) with a specified procedure amendment date that is coincidental with an international Aeronautical Information Regulation and Control (AIRAC) charting date. 3. Permanent NOTAMs may only be used for SIAPs, textual ODPs, and to correct U.S. Government charting printing and compilation errors. Permanent NOTAMs must not be used for changes to Special IFPs, ATS routes, graphic ODPs, SIDs, and STARs. 4. Permanent NOTAMs may be used to amend procedures without a complete review of the procedure. The amendment will be indicated by an alphanumeric identifier; e.g., Orig−A, Amdt 3B, Amdt 4C, etc. 5. Only one procedure may be addressed per PERM NOTAM except that a single PERM NOTAM may be used for ILS CAT I/II/III and SA CAT I /II procedures to the same runway. A single PERM NOTAM may also address multiple procedures at a single location when correcting a common printing error on U.S. Government charts. 6. A hard/electronic copy of each PERM NOTAM must be stored with the current amendment and maintained with the procedure filed by AIS specialists. 7. PERM NOTAMs must not be used for RNAV/database driven procedures when the change(s) will affect waypoint coordinates, course (track), distances, or bearings. 8. The PERM NOTAM originator must coordinate a procedure amendment date with AIS for inclusion in the Transmittal Letter. This will ensure that all charting agencies publish the amended procedure on the same AIRAC chart cycle and with the same procedure amendment date. 9. Each AIRAC cycle is limited to no more than 150 PERM NOTAMs, except for Flight Standards directed safety initiatives or national implementation processes. Whenever the 150 PERM NOTAM limit must be exceeded, AIS is responsible for coordinating with other charting agencies (for example, Jeppesen, LIDO) to ensure they can accommodate the necessary changes on the required AIRAC date. 10. PERM NOTAMs must be canceled when the applicable procedural change has been published. 11. When a PERM NOTAM is originated to permanently amend a SIAP or textual ODP, “PERM” must be inserted as the expiration date in lieu of a 10−digit date−time group. The NOTAM originator is responsible for canceling the NOTAM upon publication. 12. A NOTAM will auto−expire at the expiration DTG unless “PERM” is used. d. NOTAM Procedures: The applicable keyword (ODP, SID, STAR, CHART, DATA, IAP, VFP, ROUTE, DVA, or SPECIAL) will be included immediately following the location identifier designator. 1. Standard instrument approach procedure and special instrument flight procedure format: (a) For SIDs and STARs serving multiple airports, a separate FDC NOTAM must be prepared for each airport affected by the procedure. Permanent NOTAMs must not be used as a source to effect charting changes for these procedures. Procedural NOTAMS are originated by FAA Flight Operations and FAA Flight Inspection and Procedures personnel and are transmitted to the NS. When these revisions cannot be published in advance of their effective date, the NOTAM is transmitted as an FDC NOTAM. (b) Permanent procedural changes to graphic ODPs and SIDs must be made via a new or amended 8260−15 series form [see 8260−17 series forms for STARs] within 224 days of the issuance of the associated NOTAM. 2. Form 8260−17.1, Standard Terminal Arrival [and Form 8260−17.2, STAR (Data Record) for PBN STARs] must be submitted for permanent charting changes. NOTAM on STARs must not exceed 224 days. e. Instrument Flight Procedure NOTAMs. A complete review and a new amendment are the preferred methodology for permanent procedure changes, particularly when applying new or revised Order 8260.3 criteria.

7930.2U 6/9/25 3/15/07 7110.65R CHG 2 7930.2U CHG 1 8/10/25 However, it is recognized that this may not always be possible due to time constraints, workload, staffing level, etc. Abbreviated 8260−series forms and/or PERM NOTAMs have proven to be an effective means of updating aeronautical charts and amending instrument flight procedures within the following guidelines: 1. Whenever the need for a NOTAM to a procedure arises, AIS, or the non−FAA service provider must review the procedure and ascertain that there is no other safety of flight changes required. If a PERM NOTAM is required to amend a SIAP or textual ODP for safety reasons, other items may be included in the NOTAM to simultaneously update procedure charts. 2. Procedural minimums must not be lowered by NOTAM except when returning minimums to their previously published level at the end of a temporary condition. Refer to Order 8260.19, Flight Procedures and Airspace, chapter 8, for conditions pertaining to IFP NOTAMs when amending an instrument flight procedure. 3. Exercise caution in initiating or adding a NOTAM to a procedure when there is already a current NOTAM in effect for the procedure. In many cases close follow−up action, including canceling and reissuing NOTAMs, will be necessary to ensure there is no confusion for pilots and chart producers. All FDC NOTAMs must be issued against the currently published procedure. 4. When a NOTAM D is issued closing an airport permanently, an FDC NOTAM need not be issued denying use of an IFP. A routine procedure cancellation should be processed. 5. When a NOTAM D is issued to shut down a facility permanently, only routine cancellations of procedures predicated on that facility are required. FDC NOTAMs may be required for other procedures supported by the affected facility. 6. When a NOTAM D is issued closing a runway, an FDC NOTAM need not be issued denying approach or departure minimums to that runway. If the closing is permanent, routine procedure cancellations, including takeoff/departure procedures, must be processed immediately. 7. When a NOTAM D is issued for a facility shutdown or outage, an FDC NOTAM denying IFP use is not required for those IFPs using only that facility. However, other IFPs in the vicinity must be reviewed to determine if that facility supports courses or fixes; in such cases, those IFPs require an FDC NOTAM. Particular attention must be given to fixes supporting stepdown minimums and missed approach procedures, which are predicated on the out of service facility. It is not necessary to issue NOTAMs for fixes and terminal route segments that are related to unusable airway segments from the subject facility. Do not issue “Radar Required” NOTAMs on unusable or restricted ATS route segments. Also, see Order 8260.19, paragraph 4−3−3, for ILS CAT II/III NOTAM restrictions. 8. When a NOTAM D removes a localizer from service, the ILS approach is unusable. If the glide slope (GS) is out, the precision approach is unusable. If other ILS components are out, the inoperative table applies. In these instances, an FDC NOTAM for the ILS approach is not required. 9. When Final Approach Segment (FAS) data problems are reported and LPV minimums must be restricted, also restrict use of the WAAS VNAV. The NOTAM must read: ”LPV MINIMUMS AND WAAS VNAV NA.” NOTE− Some avionics use the LPV FAS data information to establish the glideslope for the LNAV/VNAV. Baro VNAV is not affected. f. Chart correction NOTAMs. FDC NOTAMs to correct U.S. Government chart printing or compilation errors are issued by AIS. If the NOTAM is used to correct an IFP, specify the location identifier of the airport affected by the procedure, the full procedure title and amendment number (if applicable). If the NOTAM is used to correct a chart; e.g., VFR sectional chart, IFR enroute chart, etc., use “FDC” as the location identifier. The first word in the NOTAM text should be “correct.” g. RNAV substitution. Properly equipped aircraft may substitute RNAV systems for inoperative ground NAVAIDs; however, RNAV systems must not be substituted for NAVAIDs providing final approach course guidance on instrument approach procedures. 1. When the use of an instrument approach procedure, departure procedure (SID or ODP), or STAR is restricted or prohibited by NOTAM because of a NAVAID (VOR, TACAN, NDB, compass locator, or DME) 7−1−4 Transmitting FDC NOTAM Data
7930.2U 6/9/25 8/10/25 7930.2U CHG 1 outage, the NOTAM does not apply to aircraft equipped with suitable global positioning system (GPS) RNAV. For clarification, state the reason for the restriction in the text of the procedural FDC NOTAM. 2. In certain circumstances, AFS−400 may determine that the use of RNAV systems that utilize DME/DME/inertial reference unit (IRU) inputs should be allowed [see Order 8260.19, paragraph 4−6−9, for additional information/requirements]. In these instances, AFS−400 will advise AIS by e−mail or memorandum to insert the phrase “OR DME/DME/IRU” after “SUITABLE RNAV SYSTEM WITH GPS.” Include in the NOTAM any required DME facilities, as provided by AFS−400 to support DME/DME/IRU operations. h. Air Traffic Service Route NOTAMs. Under 14 CFR part 71.13, the term “ATS route” refers to a variety of routes, including airways, jet routes, and PBN routes. When a restriction or a change to an ATS route requires a NOTAM, AIS must prepare and forward a temporary FDC NOTAM following the procedures in paragraph 7−1−3b. 1. ATS Route changes involving a single state and one or more ARTCCs must be issued with the ARTCC identifier followed by the two−letter state code. The two−letter state code must also follow all NAVAID and fix designators. 2. If the ATS Route NOTAM affects one, two, or three ARTCCs and multiple states, issue a separate NOTAM for each affected ARTCC. Do not include two−letter state codes if more than one state is involved. 3. If the NOTAM affects four or more ARTCCs, send one NOTAM using “FDC” as the facility identifier. 4. If the restriction will exceed the 224−day time limit, a procedure amendment (revised 8250−series form or PERM NOTAM) must be submitted as soon as possible to allow publication of the change within the 224−day timeframe. i. FDC NOTAMs for Special Instrument Approach Procedures (Specials). A Temporary FDC NOTAM may also be used to promulgate safety of flight information relating to Specials provided the location has a valid landing area identifier and is serviced by the NS. 1. If the Special is maintained by AIS or a non−FAA service provider and the location is in the NS, then procedures for NOTAM processing will be similar to the procedures used for public, 14 CFR part 97 instrument approach procedures. When preparing the NOTAM for submission, include the keyword “Special” immediately following the three or four character location identifier. (!FDC PAJN SPECIAL) 2. AIS/non−FAA service providers will notify the Regional NextGen Branch (RNGB) as soon as practicable when a NOTAM has been issued. NOTE− For AIS maintained procedures, after duty hours, contact the stand−by AIS representative at (405) 954 8260. 3. If the Special procedure location is not in the NS, whoever is responsible for maintaining the procedure will notify the applicable RNGB of the change/outage. The RNGB must contact the user(s) of the procedure to disseminate appropriate action; (e.g., NA the procedure, raise applicable minimums, etc.) 4. Non−FAA service providers must notify Flight Inspection Services of the change/outage if flight inspection is responsible for conducting flight inspection/validation activities. j. NOTAM content. 1. FDC SIAP and textual departure NOTAMs must identify the procedure being amended and the current amendment number. NOTAMs for graphic ODPs, SIDs, and STARs must reflect the current procedure identification, including number. The NOTAM must be as concise as possible. 2. The issuing authority must prepare the NOTAM using plain language text and those contractions found in Order JO 7340.2 and those contractions and abbreviations used on IFP charts. Specialists must keep in mind that the NOTAM is directed to the pilot, and should be worded so that the intended change will not be misinterpreted. Avoid the use of internal cartographic instructions that have no meaning to pilots. Spell out NAVAID names in clear text followed by the identifier. If it appears that the NOTAM length will exceed 20 lines, call the USNOF at (888)−876−6826 for assistance and guidance. Transmitting FDC NOTAM Data 7−1−5

For temporary obstructions, include the type, elevation, distance, and direction from the airport or runway threshold, as appropriate, as the last line of the NOTAM text. Do not preface this information with “Chart” 4. Include a reason for the NOTAM following the NOTAM text. This information will not be transmitted as a part of the NOTAM text, but will inform the NFDC and the USNOF of the basis for the NOTAM. It will also ensure the data is retained in the NOTAM historical files. 7−1−4. HIGH BAROMETRIC PRESSURE WARNING When requested by the affected area Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC), the USNOF will ensure an FDC NOTAM is issued. REFERENCE− 14 CFR § 91.144. FAA Order JO 7110.10, Flight Services, Chapter 4. 7−1−5. TEMPORARY FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS a. Through system interface, the NOTAM requestor must forward the NOTAM information directly to the USNOF for FDC NOTAM issuance. The NS disseminates the FDC NOTAM for coordination purposes, and to FSS and external providers of pilot informational briefings. The NOTAM must follow subparagraph 4−2−1b1−2, including: 1. ARTCC designator/location (mandatory) followed by the state(s) abbreviation; for example: ZDC VA. 2. Keyword “AIRSPACE.” 3. City/Location(s), State(s) for each area; for example: Detroit, MI Ann Arbor, MI..; Beale AFB, CA..; Libby AAF, AZ..; Hibbing, MN..; Fargo, ND. 4. Description of activity: “TEMPORARY FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS.” 5. Plain language effective date; for example, February 26, 2014 LOCAL (applicable to 14 CFR Sections 91.141 and 99.7 only). 6.

The FAA coordination facility and commercial telephone number. 10. Remarks (when needed). Include other information that is required or considered to be important to the pilot. Do not use the 1−800−WX−BRIEF telephone number for the flight service stations. 11. Start of Activity/End of Validity. b. Flight restrictions in the proximity of the President or other parties (14 CFR Section 91.141) or Special Security Instructions (14 CFR Section 99.7) will be issued by System Operations Services, System Operations Security, and System Operations Support Center (SOSC). Operational requirements may necessitate a change in format to Presidential and Special Security Instructions TFRs at any time. 1. Multiple areas may be specified in one NOTAM when the areas are in the same ARTCC airspace. 2. The requirement for one effective period per NOTAM is waived for NOTAMs advertising flight restrictions in the proximity of the President or other parties. See paragraph 4−1−1. 7−1−6. AIR DEFENSE EMERGENCY When an air defense emergency is declared and Emergency Security Control of Air Traffic (ESCAT) has been implemented, an FDC NOTAM will be issued in accordance with procedures in FAA Order JO 7610.4, Sensitive Procedures and Requirements for Special Operations, Chapter 6, Emergency Security Control of Air Traffic. NOTAMs advertising an air defense emergency must use accountability FDC, location identifier FDC, and be preceded by keyword “SECURITY.” REFERENCE− FAA Order JO 7610.4, Chapter 6, Emergency Security Control of Air Traffic (ESCAT). AC 99−1, Emergency Security Control of Air Traffic (ESCAT). 7−1−7. SPECIAL DATA When special data NOTAMs must be issued (for example, Department of State information and special air traffic programs for national security, aviation security, and law enforcement, etc.), an FDC NOTAM is issued by the USNOF using the keyword “SECURITY.” Issue the NOTAM with PERM instead of a cancellation date and cancel the NOTAM only at the request of the originating office, System Operations Security. NOTE− See information on use of the System Operations Security KICZ Accountability/Location Code for United States International Security NOTAMs in Chapter 8. 7−1−8. LASER LIGHT ACTIVITY The service area office where the laser activity will occur must enter the NOTAM via an approved direct entry tool or interface within 7 days of a proposed activity. Additionally, service area offices, when coordinated with their respective ATC facilities, may delegate notification responsibility. The USNOF will transmit the appropriate FDC NOTAM. If the event is canceled prior to the scheduled ending date/time, the service area office or their designee must notify the USNOF to cancel the NOTAM.

MILITARY FACILITIES NOTAMs pertaining to U.S. Air Force, Army, and Navy navigational aids that are part of the NAS must be disseminated. 2. SUBMISSION OF MILITARY DATA FOR PUBLICATION Military aeronautical data affecting FAA publications must be submitted to the FAA through the responsible military authority. 3. MILITARY NOTAMs Department of Defense (DOD) NOTAMs are stored in the FAA NOTAM database. Most of these facilities are assigned to a tie−in FSS for NOTAM purposes. NOTE− Some Army airfields are not assigned to a tie−in FSS. Army aeronautical data and NOTAMs are not necessarily published in FAA publications. Publication of NOTAM data in the DOD FLIP is justification for NOTAM cancellation. 4. ALASKAN MILITARY NOTAMs Select Alaskan military facility NOTAMs may be disseminated in the FAA NOTAM system via the tie−in FSS. The military base operations must transmit NOTAM data into the Department of Defense Aeronautical Information Portal (DAIP) and, at a minimum, coordinate with tie−in FSS. 5. MILITARY NOTAM AVAILABILITY (a) All military NOTAMs are stored in the NS data base. While current, they may be retrieved by both AFTN subscribers and FAA facilities via request/reply. (b) Refer to the DOD Flight Information Publication (EN Route), IFR, or VFR Supplements to determine whether NOTAM service is provided for a facility. (c) Military NOTAMs are entered in the military system using the following NOTAM format: EXAMPLE− 281131 KLTS NOTAMN M0719/ YY Q) ZFW/QMXLC/IV/NBO/A/000/999/3439N09916W005 A) KLTS B) YY 08071256 C) YY 10302359 E) TWY C BTN TWY G AND TWY B CLSD NOTE− Refer to ICAO 8126 for international NOTAM (Q) codes.

When a new NOTAM is accepted into the NOTAM file, a copy of the NOTAM with the NOTAM number will be returned back to the originating facility. b. If the NOTAM is rejected, an NS−generated service message will be relayed back to the facility of origin indicating the reason for rejection as shown in paragraph 4−5−2, NOTAM Service Messages. E−2. TRANSMISSION BY ANOTHER FACILITY When unable to transmit a NOTAM directly into the system due to equipment failure or other situation, relay the information to an FSS and request that the data be transmitted into the system. E−3. CANCELLATION OF NOTAMs To cancel a NOTAM, use the same NOTAM/serial number assigned to the original NOTAM by the NS computer, preceded by the letter “C.” If the serial number of a NOTAM cancellation is invalid (number not in a master file), no action is taken within the NOTAM system. A cancellation must receive the same dissemination as the NOTAM it cancels. Do not carry the NOTAM text in the cancellation. EXAMPLE− !ABC C05/005 E−4. MONITORING a. All input transmissions from a facility are monitored by the NS computer for the presence of an ADP code. The validity of the station identifier, format, and times are also checked before the NS computer assigns a number and updates the NOTAM master file. b. Errors in the station identifier or the format will result in a computer−generated service message being sent to the facility of origin. (See paragraph 4−5−2 for examples). The service message will identify the NOTAM parameter which was in error. A rejection (R) requires corrective action as soon as possible. E−5. NOTAM SERVICE MESSAGES If data is entered incorrectly, it will be rejected. Each rejection will be preceded with a service message (SVC) explaining the cause for the rejection. E−6. RETRIEVING FDC NOTAMS a. Upon issuance, all FDC NOTAMs are given all circuit distribution and are stored in the NS. FDC NOTAMs remain in the NS for the duration of their validity. b. FDC NOTAMs may be retrieved via request/reply. To minimize response delays, each FDC NOTAM should be requested individually. 1.
