Pilots will soon be able to get all notams for a given flight from electronic sources, thanks to a change in the status of "local" notams. Beginning Jan. 28, 2008, all new local, or L, notams will be reclassified as D notams and added to the national notam system. In addition, each new D notam will be preceded by a keyword that indicates the area affected, such as navigation lighting, runway, ramp, or airspace. That means for the first time pilots will be able to get all relevant notams, including those that affect only their destination airport, without calling flight service.

Graphical depiction of new "D" Keywords, and where they apply, can be found here: http://www.aopa.org/flightplanning/articles/2007/071227notams.pdf
