  1. MARKING CLASSIFIED MATERIAL

  2. CONTENTS • Marking requirements • Test

  3. WHAT IS A CLASSIFICATION MARKING A classification marking is a physical designation designed to notify and warn the holder that the information they are in possession of is classified and to what level of classification

  4. WHERE DO MARKINGS APPEAR? • Classification markings are require to be annotated on all forms and media of classified material: • Computers • Disks • Papers • Magnetic tape • Books

  5. THREE DESINGNATIONS FOR CLASSIFIED • CONFIDENTIAL information could reasonably be expected cause damage • SECRET could reasonably be expected to cause serious damage • TOP SECRET could reasonably be expected to cause exceptionally grave damage to national security. Caution: Classified information designated CONFIDENTIONAL should not be confused with the proprietary information sometimes referred to as company confidential.

  6. IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS • Must put reason for classification • Who classified the material (office or person) • Annotate date or event marking the duration of classification • Classified material should always display proper markings at all times

  7. TYPES OF MARKINGS • Overall Marking-This is the highest level of classified information found in the classified document. This is place prominently on the top and bottom of the outside, front cover, the title page, first page and the back of the document. If it is not possible to stamp, write, type or mark otherwise, then a label can be attached. • Page marking-Mark the highest level of classified information contained on each internal page. If the page is UNCLASSIFIED, it can be marked as such. For efficiency or if contract specifies, each internal page can be marked with the overall document classification. • Component Marking-Attachments to letters, annexes or appendixes to documents could be used as a separate document. In that case, the component is marked as a separate document.

  8. TYPES OF MARKINGS • Portion Markings-Each part, section paragraph or other portion of a document has to be marked to appropriately identify the classification level. These markings are put at the end of the portion, or if there are no numbers or letters separating the portion they should be put at the beginning. (U, C, S, TS) • Subject and title markings-If at all practical assign unclassified titles or subjects to a document. If titles or subjects are classified, use the appropriate classification symbol after it. (U, C, S, TS)

  9. DERIVATIVE CLASSIFICATION RESPONSIBILITIES Derivative classification means extracting, summarizing, or deriving classification from another source • FSO ensures contractor is training and has resources • Contractor ensures: • Use of Security Classification Guide • Mark derived copy with the same classification as original • Challenge classification when necessary • Carry over longest period of classification to the new document • Maintain list of sources used to compile the derivative document

  10. DERIVATIVE CLASSIFICATION RESPONSIBILITIES • In many cases those performing on classified contracts may assemble, modify, or construct classified information, reports, hardware and etc. into a new product. In that case the new product is an item derived from different sources. • Both the contractor and the government have responsibilities. The Cognizant Security Agency provides the instruction and resources and the contractor complies.

  11. “DERIVED FROM” LINE • The “Derived From” line connects the classified material incorporated in a new document with the source document or the security classification guide • The contractor annotates the reasoning or source of the classification • This authorization includes the security classification guide listed on the DDForm254

  12. “DERIVED FROM” LINE • The “derived from” line continues the record of accountability for classified material • Those who create derivative documents are not acting as Original Classification Authorities and don’t need such appointment or authority • They only transfer original document information into a new document while keeping accountability

  13. “DERIVED FROM” LINE • Use the term “multiple sources” on the derivative document where more than one source document is used • maintain records of the multiple sources • If the Contract Security Classification Specification (DD Form 254) is the sole source, put the date of the specification and the contract number in the “Derived From” line

  14. EXAMPLES OF DOCUMENT MARKINGS Overall classification from source document Paragraph from source to derived document “Derived From” line based on information from source documents

  15. “DECLASSIFY ON” LINE • The “Declassify On” line provides declassification instructions and is referenced with: • Contract Security Classification Specification • Security classification guide • Or, carry forward the duration instruction from the source document or classification guide (e.g., date or event). • “Declassify On” line notifies the contractor of declassification instructions

  16. “DECLASSIFY ON” LINE • These markings are no longer authorized • “Declassify on:” could display one of the following: • X1-X8 • Decl: OADR • Never mark RD or FRD with a “declassify on” line Typically, classified information will maintain its status for 10 years. In the event national security sensitivity requires, this date can be set for 25 years in the future.

  17. “DECLASSIFY ON” LINE • A “Declassify on” should be in accordance with Sec. 2001.12 of ISOO Directive No. 1: • A date or event less than 10 years from the date of the document; or • A date 10 years from the date of the document; or • A date greater than 10 and less than 25 years from the date of the document; or • A date 25 years from the date of the document.

  18. “DOWNGRADE TO” LINE • Use “Downgrade To” line when downgrading instructions are included in the Contract Security Classification Specification, classification guide or source document • For example: • CLASSIFIED BY: Multiple Sources • DOWNGRADE TO (SECRET or CONFIDENTIAL) ON: XXXXX • DECLASSIFY ON: XXXXX

  19. “DOWNGRADE TO” LINE • "DOWNGRADE TO" Line. Be sure to coordinate with the Government contracting agency BEFORE downgrading classified material. • Information that loses sensitivity based on time or event is downgraded or declassified. The action is taken based on formal notification or from the Contract Security Classification Guidance. • Contractors should consult with the GCA prior to taking downgrade or declassification action. Once approved, documentation and remarking should take place concurrently. SECRET CONFIDENTIAL

  20. “CLASSIFIED BY” LINE • "CLASSIFIED BY" Line and "REASON CLASSIFIED" Line are used primarily on originally classified material • Some agencies may require that derivative classifiers put identify their office and reason for classification • For example: • CLASSIFIED BY: Department 5 • Office of Good Works • REASON CLASSIFIED: Section 2.1 Security Classification Guide • DECLASSIFY ON: X-1

  21. PREVIOUS EXECUTIVE ORDERS • Classified generated under previous executive orders need not be re-marked • Most contain proper portion markings, if not, carry over highest classification of source document • The originator, not contractor, is responsible for classification markings

  22. SPECIAL TYPES OF MATERIAL • Classification markings must be clear, no matter the media • Files, folders or groups of documents must be marked at highest level within • Email and other electronic messages have to be marked the same as any document • Microform is tiny, but the media has to be marked to be seen by the unaided eye and within the microform document • Translations of U.S. classified information is marked with U.S. as country of origin and the classification in English and foreign language • All media, regardless of form must be marked to the proper level to ensure that the classification of the item is clear to the holder.

  23. TRANSMITTAL DOCUMENTS • Transmittal documents are marked with the highest classification of the entire document packet and with notation of classification level once removed from document packet • Must carry all classification markings of any classified document If unclassified when removed put: Unclassified with separated from classified enclosures. If classified with higher classification documents included put: CONFIDENTIAL or SECRET when separated from enclosures

  24. OTHER CLASSIFICATION EVENTS • Information that is unclassified when alone and classified when compiled • Mark with the highest level of classification • Portion markings are not necessary • Unclassified material developed while working with classified information should be handled in a way to protect the classified material • Training material is marked to indicate that it is UNCLASSIFIED but is assigned a classification for training purposes only • UNCLASSIFIED SAMPLE • SECRET FOR TRAINING, OTHERWISE UNCLASSIFIED

  25. OTHER CLASSIFICATION EVENTS Other material should be protected as classified even if it is not classified. The protection is to ensure that the classified portion is not disclosed without authorization, clearance and need to know. The above are few examples.

  26. UPGRADING • Upgrade when there is message notifying to upgrade a classification. For example: SECRET to TOP SECRET • Re-mark with new classifications • Obliterate former classification markings • Enter authority and reason for upgrade • Notify other users Upgrading of classified information indicates added sensitivity and should be performed immediately and all users notified. New markings should be annotated and old markings obliterated TOP SECRET SECRET

  27. INADVERTANT RELEASE • If unmarked classified information is removed from facility: • Determine clearance and authorized access of holders • Assess whether or not control of item has been lost • If recipients have clearance and need to know; notify of classification • If control has been lost, notify Cognizant Security Agency

  28. INADVERTANT RELEASE • Anytime classified material is inadvertently released, the FSO should conduct and assessment to determine the damage. If release of classified information happened where there were no classification markings provided assess whether or not authorized users had access. • If users were cleared with need to know, provide notification and re-mark. If there was unauthorized access or control was otherwise lost, notify the CSA.

  29. SUMMARY • Mark classified material to the highest level possible • Indicate classification authority and reason for classification • Provide proper markings for compiled or derived classification • Determine marking requirements for special types of material • Perform downgrade and upgrade requirements • Provide instructions for inadvertent release
