In Brief
What It Addresses
This InFO describes procedures for subscribing to updates to the US Prohibitions, Restrictions, and Notices website for operators issued OpSpec/MSpec/LOA B450, Sensitive International Areas.
Why It Matters

In order to provide such information to U.S. civil aviation operators in a direct and timely manner, the FAA issued OpSpec/MSpec/LOA B450 in November 2009.
Recommended Action
Operators issued B450 and needing notification of updates to the U.S. Prohibitions, Restrictions, and Notices website should send their email address to 9-ATOR-HQ- IFOS@faa.gov with a subject line of OpSpec B450.
