It was actually a GENOT, whch is FAA-speak for General Notice(s), originates at the FAA HQ in Washington and is circulated to all FAA offices and personel.
From an FAA training guide. The bold face is my addition:
Notices
Give temporary direction or make one-time announcements
Used for emergencies or when a situation requires immediate action
Remain in effect for 12 months or less
Are self-canceling and may not be revised or extended
Sent out via the electronic means deemed most appropriate
Three types of notices are:
General Notices (GENOTs)Issued by Washington Headquarters
Regional Notices (RENOTs)Issued by the Regions
Service Area Notices (SERNOTs)
Issued by Service Areas
