              Subpart D_Guides for Original Classification

 

Sec. 1203.412  Classification guides.



    (a) General. A classification guide, based upon classification 

determinations made by appropriate program and classification 

authorities, shall be issued for each classified system, program or 

project. Classification guides shall:

    (1) Identify the information elements to be protected, using 

categorization and subcategorization to the extent necessary to ensure 

that the information involved can be readily and uniformly identified.

    (2) State which of the classification designations (i.e., Top 

Secret, Secret or Confidential) apply to the identified information 

elements.

    (3) State the duration of each specified classification in terms of 

a period of time or future event. Whenever a specific time or future 

event for declassification cannot be predetermined, the following 

notation will be used: DECLASSIFY ON: Originating Agency's Determination 

Required or ``OADR.''

    (4) Indicate specifically that the designations, time limits, 

markings and other requirements of ``the Order'' are to be applied to 

information classified pursuant to the guide.

    (5) Be approved personally and in writing by an official with 

original Top Secret classification authority; the identity of the 

official will be shown on the guide. Such approval constitutes an 

original classification decision. Normally, all guides will be approved 

by the Chairperson, NASA Information Security Program Committee, whose 

office will maintain a list of all classification guides in current use.

    (b) Review of classification guides. Classification guides shall be 

reviewed by the originator for currency and accuracy not less than once 

every two years. Changes shall be in strict conformance with the 

provisions of this part 1203 and shall be issued promptly. If no changes 

are made, the originator shall so annotate the record copy and show the 

date of the review.
