Sec. 2008.8  Definition and application.





    Derivative classification is the act of assigning a level of 

classification to information that is determined to be the same in 

substance as information that is currently classified. Thus, derivative 

classification may be accomplished by any person cleared for access to 

that level of information, regardless of whether the person has original 

classification authority at that level.
