              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.
