On the first page of RFC 4666 you will see the line: "Obsoletes: 3332".

RFC 4666 4.3.4.5 Notify Procedures:

  A Notify message reflecting a change in the AS state MUST be sent to
  all ASPs in the AS, except those in the ASP-DOWN state, with
  appropriate Status information and any ASP identifier of the failed
  ASP.

ASP3 is not in the ASP down state and therefore must be sent the
AS-ACTIVE message.
