This is for Starlink 6-46 according to this NOTAM:
The NGA notice starts on March 24 and the NOTAM on March 25. Could they be for two different launches, one from SLC-40 and one from LC-39A? It would be a three-day turnaround on both pads. 😲
May be Starlink 6-45?

~Three hours later, Falcon 9 is targeted to lift off from pad 40 in Florida, delivering 23 @Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit
SpaceX is targeting Saturday, March 30 for a Falcon 9 launch of 23 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Liftoff is targeted for 9:02 p.m. ET, with backup opportunities available until 10:00 p.m. ET. If needed, additional opportunities are also available on Sunday, March 31 starting at 7:00 p.m. ET.
A live webcast of this mission will begin on X @SpaceX about five minutes prior to liftoff. Watch live.
This is the 18th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched CRS-22, Crew-3, Turksat 5B, Crew-4, CRS-25, Eutelsat HOTBIRD 13G, mPOWER-A, PSN SATRIA, Telkomsat Merah Putih 2, and eight Starlink missions. (= B1067-18) Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

31 launches in 2024 so far. To give a little perspective, we launched 31 times in the entire year of 2021 - today is day 90 of the year 🤯
In just a little over 2 years we achieved the same milestone in a quarter of the time! That is some real impressive progress right there 🙌🏽🚀
And on the 7th anniversary of our inaugural re-flight! 🥳🚀
