CHAPTER I
PROTECTION AND CONTROL PLANNING
Section 2
1. SITE-SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS. Protection programs shall be tailored to
address specific site characteristics and requirements, current technology,
ongoing programs, and operational needs, and to achieve acceptable protection
levels that reduce inherent risks on a cost-effective basis.
2. THREAT. The "Design Basis Threat Policy for the Department of Energy (DOE)
Programs and Facilities (U)" shall be used in conjunction with local threat
guidance and vulnerability assessments for protection and control program
planning.
3. PROTECTION STRATEGY.
a. Strategies for the protection and control of classified matter shall
incorporate the applicable requirements established in Chapter II. In
addressing the threat to the Department's information assets, emphasis
must be placed on security systems that will detect or deter unauthorized
disclosure, modification, or loss of availability of classified and
sensitive but unclassified information and its unauthorized removal from a
site or facility.
b. Safeguards and security systems and critical systems elements shall be
performance tested to ascertain their effectiveness in providing
countermeasures to address design basis threats.
4. PLANNING.
a. Site Safeguards and Security Plans. The details of site protection
measures shall be addressed in the Site Safeguards and Security Plan, as
required by DOE O 470.1, SAFEGUARDS AND SECURITY PROGRAM.
b. Security Plans. At locations where a Site Safeguards and Security Plan is
not required due to the limited scope of safeguards and security
interests, a security plan shall be developed to describe the protection
program in place.
5. GRADED PROTECTION. By graded approach, DOE intends that, in the development
and implementation of protection and control programs, the level of effort and
magnitude of resources expended for the protection of a particular security
interest are commensurate with the security interest's importance or the impact
of its loss, destruction, or misuse. Interests whose loss, theft, compromise,
and/or unauthorized use will have serious impact on the national security
and/or the health and safety of DOE and contractor employees, the public, the
environment, or programs shall be given the highest level of protection. For
example, use of a weapon of mass destruction by a terrorist(s) could have
consequences so grave as to demand the highest attainable standard of security.
Protection of other interests shall be graded accordingly. Asset valuation,
threat analysis, and vulnerability assessments shall be considered (along with
the acceptable level of risk and any uncertainties) to determine the level of
risk and what protection measures are to be applied. Heads of Departmental
Elements shall provide a rational, cost-effective, and enduring protection
framework using risk management as the underlying basis for making security-
related decisions. It should be recognized that risks will be accepted (i.e.,
that actions cannot be taken to reduce the potential for or consequences of all
malevolent events to zero); however, an acceptable level of risk will be
determined based on evaluation of a variety of facility-specific goals and
considerations. Protection-related plans shall describe, justify, and document
the graded protection provided the various safeguards and security interests.

CHAPTER II
CLASSIFIED MATTER PROTECTION AND CONTROL
Section 3
1. GENERAL. The protection requirements described in this chapter are consistent
with the requirements set forth in the National Industrial Security Program
Operating Manual of October 1994. Departmental Elements are cautioned,
however, that the U.S. Security Policy Board has directed that the physical
protection requirements in that Manual be reviewed and revised as a matter of
priority.
a. Classification level and category shall be used in determining the degree
of protection and control required for classified matter.
b. Access to classified matter shall be limited to persons who possess
appropriate access authorization and who require such access (need-to-
know) in the performance of official duties. Controls shall be
established to detect and deter unauthorized access to classified matter.
c. Custodians and authorized users of classified matter are responsible for
the protection and control of such matter.
d. Buildings and rooms containing classified matter shall be afforded the
security measures necessary to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining
access to classified matter, specifically to include security measures to
prevent unauthorized visual and/or aural access.
2. IN USE. Classified matter in use shall be constantly attended by or under the
control of a person having the proper access authorization and a need-to-know
who is responsible for its protection. Local Departmental and/or contractor
safeguard and security authorities may establish written local policy that
allows Confidential and/or Secret matter to be left temporarily unattended
during normal working hours within a locked room that is within an attended
Limited Area, Protected Area, or Exclusion Area. The period of time shall not
exceed 2 hours. Unattended within a locked room for up to 2-hour periods in
such cases is considered "In Use."
3. MARKING. Within 6 months of the date of this directive, the following
requirements shall be fully implemented. Classified matter marked according to
previous requirements need not be remarked to conform with the following
requirements, with the exception of paragraph 3a(1), which must be followed.
a. General.
(1) Requirement. Classified matter, regardless of date or agency of
origin, must be marked to indicate at least the classification level
[nd category if Restricted Data ([RD) or Formerly Restricted Data
(FRD)].
(2) Classification Markings. The term "classification markings"
comprises the following elements: classification level,
classification category (if RD or FRD), caveats (special markings),
classifier information, and originator identification. From this
point forward, the term "classification markings" means the markings
listed above. Any deviation from the standard classification
markings will be stated specifically.
(3) Other Markings. Markings other than classification markings are date
of origin, classification of titles, unique identification numbers
(accountable only), destruction date (TOP SECRET only), and portion
marking (Originally classified NSI only). These markings are covered
later in this chapter.
(4) Specific examples of markings, including their recommended use,
format, and placement, are contained in DOE G 471.2-1, CLASSIFIED
MATTER PROTECTION AND CONTROL IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE.
CANCELE
D
II-2 DOE M 471.2-1
9-26-95
b. Originator Identification. Classified documents shall be marked on the
first page to show the name and address of the organization responsible
for their preparation and the date of preparation.
Section 4
c. Classification Level.
(1) The overall classification level of a document shall be marked top
and bottom on the outside of the front cover (if any), on the title
page (if any), on the first page, and on the outside of the back
cover or last page.
(2) The highest classification level (to include unclassified) of each
page shall be marked at the top and bottom of interior pages of
classified documents; when individual page marking is not feasible,
the overall classification level of the document may be used instead.
(3) These document markings shall be clearly distinguishable from the
informational text.
(4) Classified material shall have classification level stamped, printed,
etched, written, engraved, painted, or affixed by means of a tag,
sticker, decal, or similar device. When marking is not practical,
written notification of the markings shall be furnished to
recipients.
d. Classification Category.
(1) Documents containing RD or FRD must be marked in the following
manner: the overall classification category shall be marked on the
outside of the front cover (if any), on the title page (if any), and
on the first page. These markings shall be clearly distinguishable
from the informational text.
(2) Classified material shall have classification category stamped,
printed, etched, written, engraved, painted, or affixed by means of a
tag, sticker, decal, or similar device. When marking is not
practical, written notification of the markings shall be furnished to
recipients.
e. Mixed Levels and Categories. When classified matter contains a mix of
levels and categories that causes it to be marked at an overall level and
category higher than the protection level required for the individual
portions, a matrix may be used in addition to other required markings. If
a matrix is used, the following marking matrix, or one similar in content,
will be used in addition to other required markings:
This document contains:
Restricted Data at the (e.g., CONFIDENTIAL)level.
Formerly Restricted Data at the (e.g., TOP SECRET) level.
National Security Information at the (e.g., SECRET) level.
Classified according to: (Guide or Source and Date).
f. Components. When components of a document are to be used separately, each
major component shall be marked as a separate document. Components
include annexes or appendices, attachments to a letter, and major sections
of a report. If an entire major component is unclassified, "UNCLASSIFIED"
may be marked at the top and bottom of the first page and a statement
included, such as: "All portions of this (annex, appendix, etc.) are
UNCLASSIFIED." When this method of marking is used, no further markings
are required on the unclassified component.
g. Unclassified Matter.
(1) Unclassified matter need not be marked unless it is essential to
convey one of the following conditions.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 471.2-1 II-3
9-26-95
(a) The matter has been reviewed for classification and does not
contain classified information, or
(b) the matter has been properly declassified.
(2) If unclassified matter is to be marked, the UNCLASSIFIED marking may
be placed on the top and bottom of the cover (if any), title page (if
any), and first page.
h. Portions.
Section 5
(1) For National Security Information (NSI) classified by an Original
Classifier, each section, part, paragraph, or similar portion of a
classified document shall be marked to show the classification level
or be identified as unclassified. In marking portions, the symbols
(TS) for TOP SECRET, (S) for SECRET, (C) for CONFIDENTIAL, and (U)
for UNCLASSIFIED shall be used. Classification levels of portions of
a document shall be shown by the appropriate classification symbol
placed immediately following the portion's letter or number, or in
the absence of letters or numbers, immediately before the beginning
of the portion. Documents containing derivatively classified NSI are
not required to be portion marked.
(2) Documents containing RD or FRD are not required to be portion marked.
(3) Portions of U.S. documents containing foreign government information
shall be marked to reflect the foreign country of origin as well as
the appropriate classification level, for example, (U.K.-C)
indicating United Kingdom-Confidential, or (FGI) indicating Foreign
Government Information.
(4) Portions of U.S. documents containing North Atlantic Treaty
Organization information shall indicate NATO or COSMIC, including the
appropriate classification level; for example, (NATO-S) or (COSMIC-
T.S.).
(5) If portion is exempt from automatic declassification, the exemption
category number should be placed immediately following the
classification level; for example, (SX2) or (CX8).
i. Subjects and Titles. Except for extraordinary circumstances, unclassified
subjects and titles shall be used for classified documents. Subjects or
titles shall be marked with the appropriate classification level (and
classification category if RD or FRD); for example, (U), for unclassified
titles or subjects and, when necessary, (TS), (S), or (C) for classified
titles or subjects. The symbols shall be placed immediately following the
title or subject.
j. Classifier Information. DOE 5650.2B, IDENTIFICATION OF CLASSIFIED
INFORMATION, specifies the classifier information that must be contained
on classified matter. The required information is as follows:
(1) Classification Authority (original classification and RD only).
(a) Name or personal identifier of the authorized classifier.
(b) Position title of the authorized classifier.
(2) Justification for Classification.
(a) NSI classification category (original classification only).
(b) Designation of the guide or source document and date (derivative
classification only).
(3) Duration of classification (NSI only).
CANCELE
D
II-4 DOE M 471.2-1
9-26-95
(a) Date. Date of reclassification (if applicable), date of
declassification, or exemption category.
(b) Exemptions from automatic declassification at 10 years, if
applicable, must be placed on the "Declassify On" line.
(c) Exemptions from automatic declassification at 25 years, if
applicable, must be placed on the "Declassify On" line.
(d) Extensions. If the classification is extended, the new
declassification date must be added.
k. Top Secret Destruction Date. When upon origination or reproduction it is
determined that TOP SECRET matter shall be destroyed at a particular time,
the classifier shall note this fact on all copies except record copies.
l. Caveats. In addition to the markings specified above, as appropriate,
classified matter shall be marked with caveats as indicated below.
Section 6
(1) Dissemination and Reproduction Notices. When programmatic
requirements place special dissemination or reproduction limitations
on classified information, one of the following notations, or one
similar in content, shall be used.
(a) "FURTHER DISSEMINATION ONLY AS AUTHORIZED BY GOVERNMENT AGENCY"
This notation applies to documents whose further dissemination
within the receiving contractor facility is restricted to
persons authorized by the addressee. Dissemination outside the
facility is prohibited without the approval of the contracting
activity.
(b) "REPRODUCTION REQUIRES APPROVAL OF ORIGINATOR"
This notation applies to documents that may not be reproduced
without the specific, written approval of the originator.
(2) Foreign Government Information. The notice "FOREIGN GOVERNMENT
INFORMATION" is used on U.S. documents to ensure that information of
foreign origin is not declassified prematurely or made accessible to
nationals of a third country without the consent of the originator.
(3) North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Information.
(a) NATO CLASSIFIED. NATO has four levels of classified
information: COSMIC TOP SECRET (CTS), NATO SECRET (NS), NATO
CONFIDENTIAL (NC), and NATO RESTRICTED (NR). When "NATO" or
"COSMIC" precedes a classification, the information is the
property of NATO.
(b) NATO UNCLASSIFIED (NU). This marking, applied to NATO
information that does not require security protection, is
handled in accordance with information management procedures.
(c) ATOMAL. The ATOMAL category is either U.S. Restricted Data or
Formerly Restricted Data or United Kingdom Atomic Information
that has been officially released to NATO. ATOMAL information
is classified either COSMIC TOP SECRET ATOMAL (CTSA), NATO
SECRET ATOMAL (NSA), or NATO CONFIDENTIAL ATOMAL (NCA),
depending upon the damage that would result from unauthorized
disclosure.
(4) Director of Central Intelligence Information. The following are
markings authorized for use only for Intelligence Information and
Naval Nuclear Propulsion Information (NOFORN only).
CANCELE
D
DOE M 471.2-1 II-5
9-26-95
(a) No Foreign Dissemination (NOFORN). This marking indicates that
the information contained in the document must not be released
to foreign nationals or any parties representing foreign
interests, nor to members of the public because this is
considered to be tantamount to foreign disclosure.
(b) Originator Controlled (ORCON). This marking indicates that the
document bearing the marking is controlled by the originator.
Reproduction, extraction of information, or redistribution of
such documents require the permission of the originator.
(c) Proprietary Information (PROPIN). This marking indicates that
the information contained in the document must not be released
in any form without the permission of the originating agency to
an individual, organization, or foreign government that has any
interests, actual or potential, in competition with the source
of the information.
(d) Authorized for Release to Country (REL). This marking applies
to classified intelligence that the originator has predetermined
to be releasable or has released through established foreign
disclosure procedures and channels to a specified foreign
country(ies), or international organization(s).
(5) Weapon Data. The following are markings associated with atomic
weapons or nuclear explosive devices.
Section 7
(a) Sigma Category. This marking refers to Restricted Data and
Formerly Restricted Data specifically defined in twelve separate
categories (1-5 and 9-15) concerning the design, manufacture, or
use of atomic weapons or nuclear explosive devices.
(b) Critical Nuclear Weapons Design Information (CNWDI). A
Department of Defense marking designating TOP SECRET or SECRET
Restricted Data revealing the theory of operation or design of
the components of a thermonuclear or implosion-type fission
bomb, warhead, demolition munitions, or test device.
(c) Sensitive Use Control Information (SUCI). This marking refers
to classified matter containing information (sigmas 14 and 15),
the knowledge of which would significantly enhance an
adversary's ability to circumvent a weapon's use control
features.
m. Re-marking Downgraded/Declassified Matter. Matter marked for automatic
downgrading or declassification may be downgraded or declassified and re-
marked accordingly. Matter not marked for automatic downgrading or
declassification will remain classified until a determination is made by
the originating agency.
n. Upgrading Classified Matter. Upon receiving an official upgrade notice,
the original classification-level markings should be stricken and replaced
with the new classification-level markings. The authority for and date of
the upgrading notice should be entered on the first page of the document
and all known holders of the document notified.
o. Marking Special Documents. Unless otherwise stated, the standard
classification marking requirements remain in effect. The following are
nonstandard configurations of the classification markings.
(1) Charts, Maps, Drawings, and Tracings. When such documents are
printed on larger than standard (8.5 x 11 inch) sheets, the overall
level of the document shall be marked under the legend, title, or
scale block. Classification level shall be visible when these types
of documents are folded or rolled.
CANCELE
D
II-6 DOE M 471.2-1
9-26-95
(2) Messages. The overall classification level (and category if RD or
FRD) of the message shall be the first item of information in the
text. When messages are printed by an automated system, markings may
be applied by that system, provided the markings are clearly
distinguishable from the informational text. If applicable,
downgrading instructions shall be included on the last line of text
and may be abbreviated as follows.
DNG/S or C (date or event); or
DECL (date or event).
(3) Microforms.
(a) General. Microforms contain images or text in sizes too small
to be read by the unaided eye. Markings shall consider the
media involved, but must be readable by the unaided eye.
(b) Microfiche and Microfilm. All microforms shall contain markings
specified by this chapter (with the exception of classifier,
classification guide, and declassification information) on the
medium (e.g., microfiche or reel) and its container (e.g., paper
sleeve or box).
(c) Microform Document Images. All classification markings shall be
marked on the individual documents contained on the microforms.
(4) Motion Picture Films or Video Tapes. At the beginning of a film or
videotape, the following information shall be projected for
approximately 5 seconds in the sequence given: classification level,
classification category (if RD or FRD), caveats (if applicable),
classifier information, and the unique identification number (if
accountable). At the end of a film or videotape, the classification
level shall be projected for approximately 3 seconds. The face of
the videotape cartridge or the face/side of the film's reel shall be
marked with the classification level and category (if RD or FRD).
Section 8
(5) Photographs. Roll negatives or positives shall be marked at the
beginning and end of each strip. Prints and reproductions shall show
the classification level and category (if RD or FRD) on the face side
of the print. Other classification markings shall be applied to the
reverse side or affixed by pressure-tape label, staple strip, or
other comparable means. When self-processing film or paper is used
to photograph or reproduce classified information and all parts of
the last exposure have not been removed from the camera, the camera
shall be protected at the classification level (and category if RD or
FRD) of information contained on the media.
(6) Transparencies, Slides, and Sheet-Film.
(a) Classification level and category (if RD or FRD) shall be shown
on the image of the first transparency, slide, or sheet film of
a series. All other applicable markings specified in this
chapter shall be shown on either the border or frame or in the
accompanying documentation. The succeeding transparencies,
slides, and sheet film must indicate, at a minimum,
classification level.
(b) When any portion or portions of a set of transparencies, slides,
or sheet film are to be handled and controlled as separate
documents, they require all standard markings.
(7) Recordings. Magnetic, electronic, or sound recordings shall indicate
the overall classification level (and category if RD or FRD) at the
beginning and end of the recording.
(8) Classified Information Systems Media. Specific requirements for the
handling of classified information system media are addressed in DOE
CANCELE
D
DOE M 471.2-1 II-7

M 5639.6A-1, MANUAL OF SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CLASSIFIED
AUTOMATED INFORMATION SYSTEM SECURITY PROGRAM.
(9) Translations. U.S. classified information translated into a foreign
language shall be marked as U.S. classified information, and shall
show the equivalent foreign government classification.
(10) Radiographs and X-rays. When standard markings are not practical on
the radiograph or x-ray, they shall be placed on the jacket, folder,
or similar covering. The user must ensure that the appropriately
marked jacket, folder, or covering remains with the associated
radiograph or x-ray.
(11) Training Matter. Unclassified matter used to simulate or demonstrate
classified matter for training purposes must be clearly marked to
indicate that it is unclassified.
p. File Folders and Other Containers. When not in approved secure storage
repositories, file folders and other items containing classified documents
shall be marked conspicuously to indicate the highest classification level
of any classified matter included.
q. Transmittal Documents. The first page of a transmittal document shall be
marked with the highest level of classified information being transmitted
and with an appropriate notation to indicate its classification when the
enclosures are removed. Additional markings (including category if RD or
FRD) from the enclosure shall be included on transmittal documents when
they convey restrictions.
r. Working Papers and Drafts. Classified working papers and drafts are
considered to be interim production stages toward the generation of a
permanent document. Working papers need only contain the following
markings.
(1) The date created.
(2) The highest classification level (and category if RD or FRD) of any
information contained therein.
(3) The annotation "WORKING PAPERS" or "DRAFT" on the cover (if any), the
title page (if any), and the first page.
Section 9
(4) Those prescribed for a finished document of the same classification
when:
(a) released by the originator outside the activity or office,
(b) retained for more than 180 days from the date of origin, or
(c) filed permanently.
s. Miscellaneous. Typewriter ribbon cartridges and spools or carbons must be
marked with the appropriate classification level and protected accordingly
until destroyed. No additional markings are required.
t. Other Agency and Foreign Government Documents Not Conforming to DOE
Requirements. Documents received from other agencies and foreign
governments not marked to conform to DOE requirements need not be re-
marked. However, as a minimum, all documents received must indicate a
classification level (and category if RD or FRD).
u. Cover Sheets. The Standard Form (SF) cover sheet shall be applied to all
classified documents when removed from a secure storage repository.
Contractors may use locally developed cover sheets of the same color and
format as the standard forms. SF 703 is the TOP SECRET cover sheet, SF
704 is the SECRET cover sheet, and SF 705 is the CONFIDENTIAL cover sheet.
In lieu of standard forms, a National Security Council cover sheet shall
CANCELE
D
II-8 DOE M 471.2-1
9-26-95
be affixed to each copy of a document containing classified National
Security Council information.
4. ACCOUNTABILITY AND CONTROL SYSTEMS.
a. General. Control systems shall be established and used to prevent
unauthorized access to classified information. Accountability systems
provide a system of procedures that provide an audit trail.
(1) Accountable matter includes TOP SECRET matter; SECRET matter stored
outside of a limited area (or higher); and any matter that requires
accountability by national, international, or programmatic
requirements.
(2) SECRET matter used or processed outside a limited area need not be
placed into accountability if the classified matter can be protected
in accordance with the requirements of Chapter II, paragraph 1d.
b. Control Stations. Control stations shall be established and used to
maintain records and control classified matter (including facsimiles)
received by and/or dispatched from facilities. Employees must be
designated and trained to operate these control station(s), and the
employees shall have access authorizations commensurate with the level of
their classified control responsibilities. TOP SECRET Control Officers
shall function as control stations for TOP SECRET matter.
c. Top Secret Access Records. An up-to-date record (i.e., DOE F 5635.4, "Top
Secret Access Sheet" or a form similar in content) shall be maintained for
all persons who are authorized access (including visual or aural access)
to TOP SECRET information. The record shall identify the item of TOP
SECRET matter, show the name of each individual given access, and show the
date (or inclusive dates) of access. For employees whose duties require
knowledge of the combination of containers holding TOP SECRET matter, the
SF 700 is the only access record that needs to be retained for the
combination.
d. Accountability Records. Accountability records are required when
accountable matter is originated, reproduced, transmitted, received,
destroyed, or changed in classification. Control station operators shall
maintain accountability systems for accountable matter. As a minimum,
accountability records shall indicate the following information for each
accountable item.
(1) Date of the matter.
Section 10
(2) Brief description of the matter (unclassified if possible).
(3) Unique identification number.
(4) Classification level (and category if RD or FRD), and additional
handling caveats, if any, of the matter.
(5) Disposition of the matter (for example: destruction, downgrading,
declassification, dispatch outside the facility, or incorporation in
another accountability record) and the date.
(6) Originator Identification.
(7) Number of copies of documents generated or reproduced.
(8) Contract or other written retention authority that authorizes the
matter to be in the possession of a contractor, which should be
readily available to facilitate compliance disposition reviews.
(9) Date received, if applicable.
(10) Activity from which the matter was received, if applicable.

e. Inventory. An annual inventory of accountable matter shall be conducted.
Each item listed in an accountability record must be visually verified.
All sites must develop procedures to ensure that all accountable matter
has been entered into the accountability system. A report of unresolved
discrepancies shall be submitted in accordance with Chapter III.
f. Records Disposition. Records maintained to control and account for
classified matter, including those reflecting receipt, dispatch, and
destruction, shall be retained in accordance with the DOE Records Schedule
and the National Archives Records Administration's General Records
Schedules.
g. Working Papers and Drafts. Classified working papers and drafts are
considered to be interim production stages toward the generation of a
permanent document. Working papers shall be treated as follows.

levied on the graphic arts facility in the contract or subcontract,
additional verification is not necessary. Any changes in the standard
mailing list are also the responsibility of DOE or the prime contractor.
6. RECEIPT AND TRANSMISSION.
a. General. Classified matter may be transmitted only in the performance of
official and contractual duties. Unless the transmission is required by
the specific terms of the contract or required for performance of the
contract, written authorization of the contracting Departmental Element is
required prior to contractors transmitting classified matter outside a
facility.
b. Receiving. When classified matter is received at a facility, the
following controls shall apply.
(1) Classified matter shall be delivered with the inner envelope unopened
to personnel designated to receive it at a control station(s) or to
the TOP SECRET Control Officer. Procedures shall be established to
ensure that when classified matter is not received directly by the

the inner container remains unopened before delivery to the control
station.
(2) The package shall be examined for any evidence of tampering, and the
classified contents checked against the receipt (if provided).
Evidence of tampering shall be reported promptly to the cognizant DOE
security office. If the matter was received through the U.S. Postal
System, the appropriate U.S. Postal Inspector shall also be promptly
notified. Discrepancies in the contents of a package shall be
immediately reported to the sender. If the shipment is in order and
includes a receipt, the receipt shall be signed and returned to the
sender, and a copy of the receipt maintained with the control

CANCELE
D
DOE M 471.2-1 II-11
9-26-95
(1) When envelopes are used for packaging, the classified information
shall be protected from direct contact with the inner envelope. The
inner envelope shall be sealed and marked with the receiver's and the
sender's classified mailing addresses, the highest classification of
the contents, and any appropriate caveats. The outer envelope shall
be sealed and marked with the receiver's and the sender's classified
mailing addresses. No markings or notations shall be made indicating
that the contents are classified.
(2) If the item is of a size, bulk, weight, or nature precluding the use
of envelopes for packaging, other containers of sufficient strength
and durability shall be used to protect the item while in transit.
To prevent items from breaking out and to facilitate the detection of
tampering, tamper-resistant material (such as seals, puncture
resistant material, or wire mesh) shall be used for packaging. As
long as the item is enclosed in a double container, the matter may be
wrapped or boxed in paper, wood, metal, or a combination thereof.
The inner package shall be addressed to a classified mailing address,
return addressed to a classified mailing address, and marked with the
highest classification of the contents and any appropriate caveats.
The outer container shall be addressed to a classified mailing
address, return addressed to a classified mailing address, and sealed
with no markings to indicate that the contents are classified.
(3) If the classified matter is an internal component of a packaged item
of equipment with an outside shell or body that is unclassified and
that completely shields the classified internal component from view,
the shell or body may be considered as the inner container. The
shell or body shall be marked with the classification of the
equipment but the address and return address may be omitted. The
outer container shall be addressed to a classified mailing address,
return addressed to a classified mailing address, and sealed with no
markings or notations to indicate that the contents are classified.
(4) If the classified matter is an inaccessible internal component of a
bulky item of equipment that cannot be reasonably packaged, such as a
missile, no inner container is required and the outside shell or body
may be considered as the outer container, if it is unclassified. If
the shell or body is classified, the matter shall be draped with an
opaque covering that will conceal all classified features. The
covering must be capable of being secured to prevent inadvertent
exposure of the item.
(5) If specialized shipping containers, including closed cargo
transporters, are used for transmitting classified matter, the
container may be considered as the outer container. The address may
be omitted from the inner and outer container for shipments in full
truckload lots, when such an exception is contained in the provisions
of the contract. Under no circumstances will the outer container, or
the shipping document attached to the outer container, reflect the
classification of the contents or the fact that the contents are
classified.
(6) If a locked briefcase is used to hand-carry classified matter of any
level (to include TOP SECRET), the briefcase may serve as the outer
container. The inner container shall be addressed, return addressed,
and marked with the highest classification of the contents and with
any appropriate caveats. The briefcase (outer container) must
indicate the return classified mailing address and shall contain no
markings to indicate that the contents are classified. A briefcase
may not serve as the outer container for travel aboard commercial
aircraft.

b. A written inquiry report shall be completed, with supporting
statements/documentation, and forwarded to the Office of Safeguards and
Security and the responsible Secretarial Officer through the cognizant DOE
safeguards and security organization through 5000.3B. When the possible
compromise involves information or matter from another Government agency
or foreign government, the Office of Security Affairs shall ensure the
other agency or government is informed of the results of the inquiry and
subsequent actions.
c. Upon completion of the inquiry, the cognizant DOE safeguards and security
organization shall ensure:
(1) the party or parties responsible for compromise of the classified
information are identified, and as appropriate, infractions assigned
to individuals and disciplinary actions taken;
(2) protection and control and other security measures are in place; and
(3) corrective actions are taken to preclude recurrence of conditions or
activities that allowed or contributed to the compromise of
classified information.
4. DAMAGE ASSESSMENTS.
a. Purpose. Damage assessments to assess potential damage to national
security are required by 32 CFR, Chapter XX, Part 2000, "National Security
Information," Section 2001.47, "Loss or Possible Compromise." Damage
assessments are used by responsible managers to determine future courses

of action within the program and by security personnel for evaluating
possible countermeasures and cover actions to limit potential damage.
b. When Required. When the inquiries disclose evidence that information may
have been compromised and the compromise can reasonably be expected to
cause damage to the national security, a damage assessment shall be
conducted. Compromises may occur through espionage, unauthorized
disclosures to the press or other members of the public, loss of
classified information, unaccounted for classified matters, or through
various other circumstances. Both circumstances of the loss and
sensitivity of the information must be considered in determining when a
damage assessment is required.
c. Conduct of Damage Assessment. The Secretarial Officer with programmatic
responsibility for the compromised information will appoint a DOE employee
responsible for conducting the damage assessment and appoint an assessment
team consisting of an authorized classifier and appropriate technical
experts (e.g., weapons design, nuclear policy, material production
communications, intelligence, etc.) to assist in assessment of the value
of the compromised information to foreign governments or hostile
organizations.
d. Procedures. The following procedures shall be followed for all DOE damage
assessments.
(1) The originator of the compromised information shall provide the
cognizant DOE safeguards and security organization with a copy of the
compromised information (including a copy of the matter, if
appropriate) and rationale/justification for the assigned
classification with reference to appropriate classification guides.
(2) The originator shall immediately notify all known holders of the
matter of the compromise.
(3) The team performing the damage assessment shall prepare a draft
assessment and coordinate it with the originator.
(4) The damage assessment will then be approved by the Secretarial
Officer with programmatic oversight of the information and submitted
to the Office of Security Affairs.
Section 22
(5) The assessment team will provide any additional assessment effort and
supporting documentation needed by the Office of Safeguards and
Security to complete any required DOE action.
e. Content. Damage assessments reports, as a minimum, contain the following.
(1) Identification of the source, date, and circumstances of the
compromise.
(2) Classification of the specific information lost.
(3) Description of the specific information lost.
(4) An analysis and statement of the known or probable damage to the
national security that has resulted or may result.
(5) An assessment of the possible advantage to foreign powers resulting
from the compromise.
(6) An assessment of whether classification of the information should be
continued without change; specific information or parts thereof that
shall be modified to minimize or nullify the effects of the reported
compromise and the classification retained; and whether downgrading,
declassification, or upgrading is warranted and, if so, confirmation
of prompt notification to holders of any change.
CANCELE

(7) An assessment of whether countermeasures are appropriate and feasible
to negate or minimize the effect of the compromise.
(8) An assessment of other appropriate corrective, administrative,
disciplinary, or legal actions.
f. Coordination. Whenever an action is contemplated against any person
believed responsible for the compromise of classified information, damage
assessments shall be coordinated with the Office of the General Counsel.
g. Combining Similar Documents. Damage assessments may be completed for a
group of unaccounted for classified matter discovered during inventory
whenever grouping is a logical method of meeting this requirement. A
logical grouping includes a situation when multiple matters requiring a
damage assessment are related to a programmatic area and would result in
similar damage to the national security or advantage to foreign powers.
h. Outside Agency Information. Compromise of an outside agency's classified
information shall be reported to the originating agency by the Office of
Security Affairs. The report to the originating agency must include all
data pertinent to the compromise to assist in their conduct of a damage
assessment.
i. Joint Damage Assessments. When a compromise involves another government
agency's information, the following conditions apply.
(1) The other agency has the inherent responsibility to conduct the
damage assessment on their information that was lost/compromised.
(2) Whenever a compromise involves the classified information of DOE and
another agency, and if more than one damage assessment is performed,
the Departmental Element responsible for the DOE damage assessment
shall provide, through the Office of Security Affairs, the findings
to the other agency.
(3) When a joint assessment is to be made, the Office of Security Affairs
will coordinate assignment of responsibility between DOE and the
other agency.
(4) Whenever a compromise of DOE classified information is the result of
actions taken by foreign nationals, by foreign government officials,
or by U.S. nationals in the employ of international organizations,
the Office of Security Affairs shall ensure, through appropriate
intergovernmental liaison channels, that information pertinent to the
assessment is obtained.
Section 23
(5) Whenever a compromise of Sensitive Compartmented Information has
occurred, the Director, Office of Energy Intelligence, shall consult
with the designated representative of the Director of Central
Intelligence and other appropriate officials with responsibility for
the information involved.
5. NOTIFICATION TO INFORMATION SECURITY OVERSIGHT OFFICE. On receiving written
confirmation from a Departmental Element of an unauthorized disclosure of, or
access to, National Security Information by a DOE employee, DOE contractor, or
consultant, the Office of Safeguards and Security shall notify the Information
Security Oversight Office of the details. Such notification shall be given
immediately when the disclosure results from systematic problems. Otherwise,
semiannual reports of unauthorized disclosures shall be made.
6 RECORDS RETENTION. Records of all actions pertaining to unaccounted
for/compromised matter or compromises of classified information must be
maintained by the facility security officer and the cognizant Departmental
Element safeguards and security organization. Records shall be destroyed 5
years after the close of all associated actions. These records will not be
sent to Federal Records Centers.
