Narrative:

Cleared for korry arrival and crossing eno below FL240, ATC informed us that FL240 was a restr at eno that was not on the arrival, but on a NOTAM. Lesson learned: read NOTAMS more carefully. Question to ponder: why is NOTAM dated jun/03 not incorporated into the arrival dated sep/thu/03. It is an insidious trap. Supplemental information from acn 598395: cleared to descend via STAR at FL200, center informed us we were supposed to cross eno at or above FL240 per NOTAMS. We were at FL200 and still descending. Lesson: review flight plan NOTAMS more closely. Trap: STAR chart effective date sep/thu/03, NOTAM date jun/xa. Why hasn't STAR chart been revised as numerous revisions have been issued since NOTAM date?
