              Subpart D_Guides for Original Classification

 

Sec. 1203.404  Handling of unprocessed data.



    It is the usual practice to withhold the release of raw scientific 

data received from spacecraft until it can be calibrated, correlated and 

properly interpreted by the experimenter under the monitorship of the 

cognizant NASA office. During this process, the data are withheld 

through administrative measures, and it is not necessary to resort to 

security classification to prevent premature release. However, if at any 

time during the processing of raw data it becomes apparent that the 

results require protection under the criteria set forth in this subpart 

D, it is the responsibility of the cognizant NASA office to obtain the 

appropriate security classification.
