Study Notes
Derivative Classification Overview
- Derivative classification involves using existing classified information to create new material while adhering to the source information's classification markings.
- Derivative classifiers must be aware of and follow DoDM 5200.01, Volumes 1-4 for guidance on classification procedures.
Authorized Sources
- Authorized sources for derivative classification include Security Classification Guides (SCGs) and properly marked source documents.
- Unconfirmed sources are not considered authorized for derivative classification.
Training Requirements
- Initial training on derivative classification principles is mandatory before classifying any materials.
- Refresher training must be completed every two years to maintain derivative classification authority.
Classification Concepts
- "Contained in" refers to using information directly from properly marked source documents without additional interpretation.
- "Classification by compilation" occurs when combining multiple unclassified pieces of information that collectively warrant classification.
- "Revealed by" is used when derivative classifiers extract specific details verbatim from a source document.
Rights and Procedures
- Challenges to classification can be forwarded to the Interagency Security Classification Appeals Panel (ISCAP) if the classifying agency does not respond in 120 days.
- If information seems incorrectly classified, derivative classifiers should seek further guidance from security managers or supervisors.
Legal and Administrative Consequences
- Engaging in unauthorized disclosure of classified information may result in criminal sanctions, including incarceration.
- Derivative classifiers may face administrative sanctions for classification errors but submitting challenges to classification is not penalized.
Responsibilities of Derivative Classifiers
- Derivative classifiers are responsible for accurately marking new documents based on existing classifications and must analyze information to identify elements needing classification.
- They do not possess original classification authority but must understand classification criteria and maintain classified status as necessary.
Key Concepts and Terminology
- Derivative classification encompasses creating new materials based on classified sources without originally classifying new content.
- Extracting classified information means directly quoting or including information from classified sources in new documents.
- It is essential to keep information up to date; materials should not remain classified if they no longer meet the criteria for classification.
Important Classification Criteria
- Information must be owned or controlled by the U.S. Government and its unauthorized disclosure must have the potential to cause harm to national security to be classified.
- Maintaining accurate classifications is crucial to protecting national security and facilitating appropriate information sharing among governmental entities.
Additional Notes
- Security Classification Guides provide vital information about classification requirements.
- To enhance information sharing, guidelines must be strictly followed within the Department of Defense while classifying and marking information.
