It's the way we type in the information on our scratchpad when requesting our oceanic clearance via ACARS. You need to free text on line 1 your next best NAT(i.e 2ND NAT E) or whether you would like to go 1 degree STH or NTH if on a random track and on line 2 you enter your maximum FL in the oceanic segment. You enter this field even if it is the same as your requested oceanic FL entered on page1 of your request (along with facility, entry point mach no and ETA at entry). If you request FL380 at the ocean but you are able to make higher in the ocean you simply type in this max flight level (e.g FL400 max) as MAX F400.
Not too long winded a response I trust
