The UNI 3.0 and UNI 3.1 spec says the following:

----------------
3.5.1  ATM Layer Management Information Flows
Figure 3-11 shows the OAM flows defined for the exchange of operations
information between nodes (including customer premises equipment). At the
ATM layer, the F4-F5 flows will be carried via OAM cells. The OAM cell flow
used for end-to-end management functions may be carried transparently
through the private ATM switch and made available to the user. The F4 flow
is used for segment2 2 or end-to-end (VP termination) management at the VP
level using VCI values 3 and 4. The F5 flow is used for segment3 or
end-to-end (VC termination) management at the VC level using PT code points
4 and 5. A detailed explanation on OAM cell flow mechanism is given in
T1S1.5/92-029R3, CCITT Recommendation. I.610.
----------------

If you look in the ITU-T spec I.610 then you'll see the OAM definitions. I
believe the T1S1.5/92-029R3 is from ANSI or it could be a work document
before the I.610 was done. You can buy ITU-T specs. from the ITU
