Study Notes
Derivative Classification Overview
- Derivative classification involves incorporating information from classified source materials into new products.
- Accuracy in derivative classification is primarily the responsibility of derivative classifiers.
Key Concepts
- Derivative classification does not carry the same impact as original classification.
- Proper analysis of source material is crucial when derivative classification is performed.
- The Security Classification Guide (SCG) provides listings of classification elements, reasons, and processes for downgrading and declassification.
Procedures and Responsibilities
- In the absence of sufficient guidance from authorized sources, consulting the Security Manager or Facility Security Officer (FSO) is the first step.
- Steps in derivative classification do not include making recommendations for others regarding document marking.
Classification Mechanisms
- Classification by Compilation is a method used when compiling classified information results in a classified status, even if individual pieces are unclassified.
- Concepts such as "contained in" and "classification by compilation" help determine the status of new documents based on previously classified information.
Criteria for Classification
- Information must pertain to one or more of the eight categories established in Executive Order 13526 to be classified.
- Information must pose a risk of significant harm in case of unauthorized disclosure to be maintained as classified; embarrassment alone is insufficient.
Promoting Information Sharing
- Efforts to share information within government entities should not involve automatic declassification of shared information.
Sanctions and Violations
- Cleared contractor employees are governed by the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) and may face sanctions for policy violations.
- Military personnel leaking classified information may face severe penalties, including incarceration, loss of pay, and dishonorable discharge.
Administrative Sanctions
- Administrative sanctions include revocation of security eligibility and suspension without pay.
- Any suspicion of improperly classified information should be challenged.
Document Classification Examples
- Unclassified statements retain their status when not derived from classified material and have proper markings.
- Classified documents use distinct terminology (such as (C) for confidential) to denote their status, influencing the classification of new documents.
