Sec. 2001.20  General [1.6].


    A uniform security classification system requires that standard 
markings be applied to classified information. Except in extraordinary 
circumstances, or as approved by the Director of ISOO, the marking of 
classified information created after September 22, 2003, shall not 
deviate from the following prescribed formats. If markings cannot be 
affixed to specific classified information or materials, the originator 
shall provide holders or recipients of the information with written 
instructions for protecting the information. Markings shall be uniformly 
and conspicuously applied to leave no doubt about the classified status 
of the information, the level of protection required, and the duration 
of classification.
