[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 14, Volume 5] [Revised as of January 1, 2005] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 14CFR1203.406] [Page 18] TITLE 14--AERONAUTICS AND SPACE CHAPTER V--NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION PART 1203_INFORMATION SECURITY PROGRAM--Table of Contents Subpart D_Guides for Original Classification Sec. 1203.406 Additional classification factors. In determining the appropriate classification category, the following additional factors should be considered: (a) Uniformity within government activities. The effect classification will have on technological programs of other Government departments and agencies should be considered. Classification of official information must be reasonably uniform within the Government. (b) Applicability of classification directives of other Government agencies. It is necessary to determine whether authoritative classification guidance exists elsewhere for the information under consideration which would make it necessary to assign a higher classification than that indicated by the applicable NASA guidance. Generally, the classification by NASA should not be higher than that of equivalent information in other departments or agencies of the Government.
