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. Brian Throop 11/19/2018 Director, System Operations Security System Operations Services Date Signed Air Traffic Organization 3 .
