Sec.  2001.20  General [1.6].





    A uniform security classification system requires that standard 

markings be applied to classified information. Except in extraordinary 

circumstances, or as approved by the Director of ISOO, the marking of 

classified information created after September 22, 2003, shall not 

deviate from the following prescribed formats. If markings cannot be 

affixed to specific classified information or materials, the originator 

shall provide holders or recipients of the information with written 

instructions for protecting the information. Markings shall be uniformly 

and conspicuously applied to leave no doubt about the classified status 

of the information, the level of protection required, and the duration 

of classification.
