This notice reflects recent changes initiated by countries other than the United States (U.S.) including new ICAO three letter designators (3LDs), deletions of defunct ICAO 3LDs, and modifications to ICAO 3LDs, associated telephonies, and companies/agencies. This Notice supplements FAA Order JO 7340.2 until the additions and modifications are incorporated into the Order. This Notice does not replace or substitute for GENOTs issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Traffic Organization (ATO) for ICAO 3LDs assigned and authorized for U.S. aircraft operators.

2. Audience. This notice applies to the following Air Traffic Organization (ATO) service units: Air Traffic Services, and System Operations Services; ATO Safety and Technical Training; and all associated air traffic control facilities.

3. Where Can I Find This Notice? This notice is available on the MyFAA employee website at https://employees.faa.gov/tools_resources/orders_notices/ and on the air traffic publications website at http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/.

4. Source Document. The source document for the ICAO 3LD additions and modifications contained in this notice is ICAO Document 8585, Designators for Aircraft Operating Agencies, Aeronautical Authorities, and Services. The ICAO 3LD additions and modifications contained in this notice are valid as of the date indicated in the list title. This valid date will differ from the effective date of the notice due to the processing time needed by ATO to receive ICAO Document 8585 and identify the changes.

5. Procedures/Responsibilities/Action. The changes listed below are effective October 31, 2018. Add the following ICAO 3LD and associated information to FAA Order JO 7340.2, Chapter 3, Sections 1, 2, and 3, as follows:

6. Distribution. This notice is distributed to the following ATO service units: Air Traffic Services, Mission Support Services, and System Operations, and Safety and Technical Training; the Air Traffic Safety Oversight Service; the William J. Hughes Technical Center; and the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center.

7. Background. Between the 3-4 month publication cycle of FAA Order 7340.2, GENOTs are issued by ATO, as necessary, to provide notification of ICAO 3LD additions and modifications for U.S. aircraft operators. The information and changes contained in these GENOTs are then incorporated into FAA Order JO 7340.2 when the publication cycle permits. However, foreign countries also process ICAO 3LD additions and modifications for foreign aircraft operators between these publication cycles. ATO does not issue GENOTs for these foreign ICAO 3LD additions and modifications leaving these changes to await the next publication date of FAA Order 7340.2 which could be 3-4 months. In an effort to notify ATC and the U.S. public of these foreign ICAO 3LD additions and modifications in a more timely manner, ATO will issue a Notice on an approximate monthly basis. The listings are extracted from ICAO Document 8585, Designators for Aircraft Operating Agencies, Aeronautical Authorities and Services, and verified by ATO System Operations Security. These Notices will be issued as an addendum to FAA Order 7340.2.
