Section 1. GENERAL PROCEDURES
9-1-1. RETRIEVING INTERNATIONAL
NOTAMs
a.
Appendix 2, International NOTAM (Q) Codes, contains the NOTAM codes used for international NOTAMs.
b. International NOTAM offices that provide NOTAMs to the U.S. NOTAM office are listed in ICAO DOC 7383 and the FAA International Flight Information Manual.
c. International NOTAMs transmitted and received by the U.S. NOTAM Office are stored in the USNS, and while current, may be retrieved by both AFTN subscribers and FAA facilities via request/reply.
d. The USNOF issues international NOTAMs concerning the OMEGA, LORAN, and GPS systems and certain special use airspace for ARTCCs which control oceanic airspace; i.e., ARTCC and CARF altitude reservations (ALTRVs) and warning areas. Warning areas and ALTRVs are filed under the associated ARTCC ICAO location indicator (KZBW, KZHU, KZSE, KZJX, KZMA, KZNY, KZOA, KZLA, TJZS, PAZA, or PHZH). Information concerning permanent, long-term general data and selected foreign advisories are stored under KFDC location indicator. OMEGA, LORAN, and GPS information is stored under KNMH. These NOTAMs are numbered consecutively by location beginning with A001 each year. The year of issuance and the serial number are separated by a slant; e.g., A0211/00, A0002/00.
