Study Notes
Originator Control (ORCON) Overview
- The Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence (PDDNI) designates Special Compartmented Intelligence (SCOIs) where ORCON information may be shared among authorized users.
- Recipients must document and report the further dissemination of ORCON information electronically, including metrics to the originator and the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), as mandated by ICPG 710.1 and ICD 710.
Classification Markings
- Classification markings indicate compartmentalization, dissemination controls, and disclosure authorizations.
- Recipients of ORCON or ORCON-USGOV marked intelligence can share it within their organization without seeking additional approval from the originator.
Derivative Classification
- Individuals applying derivative classification markings have a set of responsibilities, all of which must be adhered to.
IC Markings System
- The IC Markings System safeguards intelligence while ensuring prompt access. It is crucial for protecting sensitive information and methods.
- The system's implementation is governed by the IC Register and Manual, with the Register serving as the catalog of classification and control markings.
ORCON Limitations
- ORCON cannot be applied to unclassified information.
- ORCON serves to control the dissemination and extraction of the information as managed by the originator.
Oversight and Compliance
- ICD 710 regulates the oversight and implementation of the IC Markings System, emphasizing compliance and appropriate use of classification markings.
- It is the collective responsibility of all personnel to challenge unauthorized use of classification markings.
Precedence in Document Markings
- In documents containing both ORCON and ORCON-USGOV markings, ORCON takes precedence and is prioritized in the display of markings.
- ORCON-USGOV allows for sharing ORCON information without prior approval, even in cases of unfinished intelligence.
