Study Notes
Derivative Classification Overview
- Derivative classification involves creating new documents using existing classified information, ensuring new materials carry the correct classification markings.
- The impact of derivative classification is not equivalent to that of original classification.
Responsibilities and Analysis
- Derivative classifiers must analyze and evaluate information to determine what needs classification.
- Careful analysis is essential in the derivative classification process to ensure proper classification of the document.
Steps and Guidance
- Key steps in derivative classification include assessing the need for protection of information but do not include making initial determinations for classification.
- Security Classification Guides (SCGs) provide essential information on classification elements, including classification reasons and declassification information.
- In cases of insufficient guidance from authorized sources, personnel should consult their Security Manager or Facility Security Officer.
Classification Concepts
- Incorporating classified source material into new documents does not include planning as a classification method.
- Classification by Compilation applies when new documents derive classifications from compiling various classified elements, even if individual elements are unclassified.
- "Contained in" is a concept used when a new document repeats information from a source that is classified.
Criteria for Classification
- To justify classification, the information must relate to national security, not merely cause embarrassment to the U.S. Government.
- Information owned by the U.S. Government may be classified only if its unauthorized disclosure could harm national security.
Information Sharing and Sanctions
- Promoting information sharing among government entities and the public does not include automatically declassifying information.
- Unauthorized disclosure of classified information can result in criminal sanctions, including incarceration and discharge from military service.
- Administrative sanctions for violations can include revocation of security eligibility and suspension without pay.
Challenging Classifications
- If a classification challenge receives an incomplete response, the individual may forward the challenge to the Interagency Security Classification Appeals Panel (ISCAP) after 120 days.
Examples and Classification Status
- Properly marked documents maintain their significance in new statements; for instance, a new document referencing an exercise name maintains its classification.
- If information is deemed unclassified, it should clearly indicate as such in any new documents created.
