NOTOC

Two examples from this model are the Waste Not OC Coalition in Orange County, California (www.waste notoc.org) and the Food Rescue Partnership in the Quad Cities of Iowa/Illinois (https:// foodrescueqc.org).

A spokesperson for Airsea Containers Ltd commented: “Amongst the changes outlined for New Section IB includes the requirement for dangerous goods training for personnel involved in the transport of IB batteries; a dangerous goods acceptance check; and a summary NOTOC (Notification to Captain) detailing the quantity and type of items for transport.

Currently, the only source of information on a plane's cargo is the pilot notification (NOTOC) form carried aboard the plane but, as Air Cargo World magazine observes, this is "hardly the best spot for details while the plane itself may be burning."
