When changes occur so rapidly that time does not permit issuance on a chart or in an appropriate publication, they are publicized as NOTAMs. Originators of airmen information are expected to inform the National Flight Data Center (NFDC) in sufficient time before the effective dates of changes to permit publishing of aeronautical data on the various charts or in the appropriate publications. NOTAMs are classified into five groups in accordance with instructions in this order. The groups are:

Information that meets the criteria of this order and requires wide dissemination via telecommunication and pertains to en route navigational aids, civil public­use airports listed in the AFD, facilities, services, and procedures. Information that may be beneficial to aircraft operations and is not identified in Appendix 1 of this order. These NOTAMs are identified with “(O)” as the first part of NOTAM text.

b. FDC NOTAM. Flight information that is regulatory in nature including, but not limited to, changes to IFR charts, procedures, and airspace usage.

ADP CODE is an exclamation point “!”.
ACC LOC is the identifier of the accountability location.
AFF LOC is the identifier of the affected facility or location.
RWY ID is optional. This shall be the runway identification for runway and runway related NOTAMs.
COND is the condition being reported.
TIME identifies the effective time(s) of the NOTAM
