              Subpart D_Guides for Original Classification

 

Sec. 1203.409  Exceptional cases.



    (a) In those cases where a person not authorized to classify 

information orginates or develops information which is believed to 

require classification, that person should safeguard the material as 

though it were classified until it has been evaluated and a decision 

made by an appropriate classifying authority. For NASA employees the 

classifying authority is normally the Installation Security 

Classification Officer. Persons other than NASA employees should 

forward, under appropriate safeguards, material in which NASA has 

primary interest to the NASA Information Security Program Committee, 

Security Division, Washington, DC 20546 for a classification 

determination.

    (b) Information in which NASA does not have primary interest shall 

be returned promptly, under appropriate safeguards, to the sender in 

accordance with Sec. 1203.405.

    (c) Material received from another agency for a NASA security 

classification determination shall be processed within 30 days. If a 

classification cannot be determined during that period, the material 

shall be sent, under appropriate safeguards, to the Director, 

Information Security Oversight Office, GSA, for a determination.
