All other data remains as published.having a critical crossing altitude on a heavily used arrival procedure amended via NOTAM with no other ATC notification; while legal; is inadvisable. This is evidenced by reported violations of the notamed altitude in a recently released [aviation organization] safety briefing.until proper charts can be published with the correct altitude; it would be advisable to either rescind the NOTAM or include information about the amended altitude restriction on the ATIS of airports affected by this change.
