Section 2. Coordination
When a shutdown or an outage/closure of a component of the NAS will affect another facility's operation, the facility serving as the approval/ controlling authority must coordinate with other facilities concerned.
NOTAM information should not be filed with an FSS (1-877-4-US-NTMS or 1-877-487-6867) prior to 7 days before the expected condition is to occur. A NOTAM must be transmitted as soon as practical but not more than 7 days before the expected condition is to occur.
FSS air traffic managers must ensure that NOTAMs originated by their facility and FDC NOTAMs received must be accounted for as follows:
- Log all NOTAMs on a locally approved form containing at least the same data for each accountability (NOTAM file) location. Information to include on the form: month, facility, NOTAM number, condition description, transmitted by/day time group (DTG), and cancelled by/DTG.
- Incoming FDC NOTAMs and cancellations must be logged on a locally approved form, containing at least the same data. Information to include on the form: FDC NOTAM receipt log, NOTAM number, sending facility, affected facility, number cancelled by, and remarks. The remarks section should contain enough information to identify the location and NAS component affected.
- Electronic NOTAM logs are acceptable and can replace any paper log.
- When an FDC NOTAM is received and the previous number(s) have not been received, obtain the NOTAM on request-reply.

- Before closing, part-time facilities must give any known NOTAMs that will require dissemination during the hours the facility is closed to the FSS responsible for handling their NOTAMs during the period the facility is closed.
- Immediately upon resuming the daily operation, part-time facilities must obtain all current NOTAMs, as well as pertinent FDC NOTAMs issued.
