An ALNOT remains current until the aircraft is located and/or the search is suspended by the ___.

The key idea is who has the authority to lead and end search-and-rescue efforts. The Rescue Coordination Center is the agency charged with coordinating SAR operations in a region and with deciding when to suspend a search. Because of that leadership role, the ALNOT stays active until the aircraft is located or the search is suspended by the RCC. Flight Service Stations may help disseminate information, but they do not suspend SAR; ARTCC handles air traffic control routes and is not the authority to end a search; AIM is just guidance material.
