NOTAM Improvement Act of 2023

New Section 3 requires the FAA Administrator to complete implementation of a Federal NOTAM System (FNS) by September 30, 2024, implement a back-up system to the FNS, and brief both relevant congressional committees on a plan to deliver machine-readable, filterable information in ICAO format for global harmonization with neighboring Air Navigation Service Providers.

Task Force duties were broadened: 'presenting' was changed to 'publishing' throughout; the review scope in duty (2) now explicitly includes 'systems, and international standards'; recommendation (4)(B) now requires NOTAMs to be 'complete, accurate, timely, relevant to safe flight operations, and contain pertinent information' rather than just 'contain the proper information.'

The definition of NOTAM was expanded from a brief cross-reference to FAA Order 7930.2S into a full statutory definition: a notice containing information not known sufficiently in advance to publicize by other means, concerning the establishment, condition, or change in any component or hazard in the National Airspace System, the timely knowledge of which is essential to personnel concerned with flight operations.

A new rule of construction (subsection h) states that nothing in the section may be construed to require the FAA to duplicate any prior, ongoing, or planned efforts related to NOTAM improvement, including implementing previously enacted requirements.

The Task Force composition was changed: a new member category for labor union representatives of aircraft dispatchers was added as item (4), shifting all subsequent items down by one position. The total membership increased from 9 to 10 categories.

The applicable law exemption was made more specific, changing from a general reference to the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App.) to a precise citation of Chapter 10 of title 5, United States Code.
