Sec.  2001.22  Derivative classification [2.1].



    (a) General. Information classified derivatively on the basis of 

source documents or classification guides shall bear all markings 

prescribed in Sec.  2001.20 and Sec.  2001.21, except as provided in 

this section. Information for these markings shall be carried forward 

from the source document or taken from instructions in the appropriate 

classification guide.

    (b) Source of derivative classification. (1) The derivative 

classifier shall concisely identify the source document or the 

classification guide on the ``Derived From'' line, including the agency 

and, where available, the office of origin, and the date of the source 

or guide. An example might appear as:



Derived From: Memo, ``Funding Problems,'' October 20, 2003, Office of 

Administration, Department of Good Works



    or



Derived From: CG No. 1, Department of Good Works, dated October 20, 2003



    (i) When a document is classified derivatively on the basis of more 

than one source document or classification guide, the ``Derived From'' 

line shall appear as: Derived From: Multiple Sources

    (ii) The derivative classifier shall maintain the identification of 

each source with the file or record copy of the derivatively classified 

document. When practicable, this list should be included in or with all 

copies of the derivatively classified document.

    (2) A document derivatively classified on the basis of a source 

document that is itself marked ``Multiple Sources'' shall cite the 

source document on its ``Derived From'' line rather than the term 

``Multiple Sources.'' An example might appear as:



Derived From: Report entitled, ``New Weapons,'' dated October 20, 2003, 

Department of Good Works, Office of Administration



    (c) Reason for classification. The reason for the original 

classification decision, as reflected in the source document(s) or 

classification guide, is not required to be transferred in a derivative 

classification action. If included, however, it shall conform to the 

standards in Sec.  2001.21(a)(3).

    (d) Declassification instructions. (1) The derivative classifier 

shall carry forward the instructions on the ``Declassify On'' line from 

the source document to the derivative document, or the duration 

instruction from the classification or declassification guide.

    (2) When a document is classified derivatively on the basis of more 

than one source document or more than one element of a classification 

guide, the ``Declassify On'' line shall reflect the longest duration of 

any of its sources.

    (i) When a document is classified derivatively either from a source 

document(s) or a classification guide that contains the declassification 

instruction, ``Originating Agency's Determination Required,'' or 

``OADR,'' or from a source document(s) or a classification guide that 

contains any of the

exemption markings X1 through X8. Unless otherwise instructed by the 

original classifier, the derivative classifier shall carry forward:

    (A) The fact that the source document(s) was marked with this 

instruction; and

    (B) The date of origin of the most recent source document(s), 

classification guides, or specific information, as appropriate to the 

circumstances.

    (ii) Examples might appear as:



Declassify On: Source Marked ``OADR'', Date of source: October 20, 1990

    or



Declassify On: Source Marked ``X1'', Date of source: October 20, 2000



    (iii) Either of these markings will permit the determination of when 

the classified information is 25 years old and, if permanently valuable, 

subject to automatic declassification under section 3.3 of the Order.

    (e) Overall marking. The derivative classifier shall conspicuously 

mark the classified document with the highest level of classification of 

information included in the document, as provided in Sec.  2001.21(b).

    (f) Portion marking. Each portion of a derivatively classified 

document shall be marked in accordance with its source, and as provided 

in Sec.  2001.21(c).
