Sec. 2008.13  Systematic review guidelines.



    Within 180 days after the effective date of the order, the Office of 

the Special Representative for Trade Negotiations shall, after 

consultation with the Archivist of the United States and review by the 

Information Security Oversight Office, issue and maintain guidelines for 

systematic review of classified information originated by the Office of 

the Special Representative for Trade Negotiations twenty years from the 

date of original classification. These guidelines shall state specific 

limited categories of information which, because of their national 

security sensitivity, should not be declassified automatically but 

should be reviewed item-by-item to determine whether continued 

protection beyond twenty years is needed. Information not identified in 

these guidelines as requiring review and for which a prior automatic 

declassification date has not been established shall be declassified 

automatically twenty years from the date of original classification.
