Decoding NOTAMs can be a difficult job, indeed. So they built decoding software
ICAO called the Aerospatiale-BAC Concorde: CONC. For IATA that was SSC.

Conc(erning) your Q, I had in mind a letter code as in:
RESTRICTED ONLY FOR AIRCRAFT CAT A AND CAT B.

A useful document: Aeronautical Information Manual
