Sec. 9.13  Transferred material.

    (a) In the case of classified information transferred in conjunction 
with a transfer of functions, and not merely for storage purposes, the 
receiving agency shall be deemed to be the originating agency for 
purposes of the Order.
    (b) In the case of classified information that is not officially 
transferred as described in section 3.2(a) of the Order, but that 
originated in an agency that has ceased to exist and for which there is 
no successor agency, each agency in possession of such information shall 
be deemed to be the originating agency for purpose of the Order. Such 
information may be declassified or downgraded by the agency in 
possession after consultation with any other agency that has an interest 
in the subject matter of the information.
    (c) Classified information accessioned into the National Archives of 
the United States shall be declassified or downgraded by the Archivist 
of the United States in accordance with the Order, the Directive, and 
agency guidelines.
