Study Notes
Derivative Classification Overview
- Derivative classification involves using existing classified information to create new documents, ensuring consistent marking according to source information.
- The Security Classification Guide (SCG) is the primary source for derivative classification, detailing classification levels and guidance.
Responsibilities of Derivative Classifiers
- Derivative classifiers must independently analyze and evaluate information to discern elements requiring classification.
- They must have original classification authority (OCA) to classify information.
- Formal challenges can be made against improper classification.
Classification Concepts
- "Revealed by" concept indicates classified information can be deduced by readers through analysis.
- Classification by compilation refers to aggregating unclassified pieces into a classified whole.
- Extracting involves stating information verbatim from a classified source in new documents.
Classification Criteria
- Information must pertain to one of the eight categories specified in Executive Order 13526.
- Information cannot be classified to conceal legal violations, inefficiencies, or to prevent embarrassment.
Sanctions and Violations
- Administrative sanctions include loss of pay and revocation of security clearance.
- Military personnel leaking classified information can face incarceration, dishonorable discharge, and loss of pay.
- Cleared contractors follow the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) guidelines.
Challenge Procedures
- Initiating an informal challenge is the first step when improperly classified information is suspected.
- If a formal challenge yields insufficient response within 120 days, escalation to the Interagency Security Classification Appeals Panel (ISCAP) is permissible.
Steps in Derivative Classification
- Key steps include verifying classification requirements, ensuring proper markings, and reviewing compliance with SCG.
- Making recommendations for marking new documents is outside the responsibilities of derivative classifiers.
Promoting Information Sharing
- Sharing among federal, state, and local governments is encouraged, while avoiding automatic declassification of shared information.
- Over-classification should be minimized to facilitate sharing with coalition partners and the public.
Misclassifications and Informal Challenges
- Students should be aware that formally challenging classification decisions is crucial and can lead to significant outcomes if addressed through proper channels.
- Understanding the implications of improperly classified information enhances operational safety and security.
Important Phrases and Definitions
- "Administrative sanctions" include actions like suspension without pay.
- "Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)" outlines military personnel conduct and associated consequences.
- Information classified as "Secret" denotes that unauthorized disclosure could cause serious harm to national security.
Conclusion
- Derivative classification is essential for maintaining national security while ensuring responsible information sharing and classification compliance. Understanding the concepts, responsibilities, and procedures is crucial for effective participation in the classification process.
