Study Notes

Derivative Classification Training

  • DoD and contractor personnel must complete initial training in derivative classification principles and refresher training every two years to maintain classification authority.

Authority for Derivative Classification

  • Only original classification decision-makers can create original classifications; however, others may derivatively classify.

Classification by Compilation

  • Derivative classification by compilation occurs when the combination of two pieces of information necessitates classification or heightens the classification level.

Security Classification Guide (SCG)

  • The SCG is a comprehensive document that provides guidance on specific elements that require classification.
  • Guidance in the SCG is not merely indicative or directive but outlines explicit expectations.

Justifications for Classification

  • Protecting national security is a valid reason for classifying information.

Challenging Classification

  • If a classification challenge receives only a partial response from the agency within 120 days, it can be forwarded to the Interagency Security Classification Appeals Panel (ISCAP).

Sharing Information Safely

  • Promoting information sharing must avoid excessive control markings to facilitate openness across different government levels and stakeholders.

Sanctions for Misconduct

  • Engaging in unauthorized disclosure can lead to administrative, UCMJ, or criminal penalties; exceptions include actions against DoD policy regarding Special Access Programs.

Derivative Classification Process

  • Derivative classification involves confirming the classification status of existing information in new documents, ensuring proper marking when relevant.

Extraction from Classified Sources

  • Information extracted verbatim from a classified source is classified as "extracting," and proper documentation is necessary when using such information.

Responsibilities of Derivative Classifiers

  • All cleared DoD personnel involved in generating classified materials are considered derivative classifiers but are not responsible for correcting original classification decisions.

Responses to Improper Classification

  • Upon suspicion of improper classification, initial contact should be with the original classification authority before pursuing formal challenges.

Authorized Sources of Classification

  • Authorized sources for derivative classification must be confirmed; unverified sources should not be used.

Criteria for Classification

  • Information must meet the criterion that unauthorized disclosure poses a threat to national security rather than embarrassment to the government.

Need for Clarification

  • When discrepancies occur in classification determinations, derivative classifiers must seek clearer guidance from authorized sources.

Responsibilities and Expertise

  • Derivative classifiers must have access to classification guidance but are not required to possess subject matter expertise.
