DOE M 471.2-1 9-26-95 MANUAL FOR CLASSIFIED MATTER PROTECTION AND CONTROL 1. PURPOSE. This Manual provides detailed requirements to supplement DOE O 471.2, INFORMATION SECURITY PROGRAM, which establishes policy for the protection and control of classified and unclassified information. 2. SUMMARY. This Manual is composed of three chapters that provide detailed requirements for protection and control of classified matter. Chapter I provides a concise overview of protection and control planning considerations. Chapter II establishes protection and control requirements for classified matter in-use, marking of classified matter, accountability and control systems, reproduction, receipt and transmission, contract closeout or facility termination, and destruction. Chapter III addresses unaccounted-for matter and compromise of classified information. 3. DEVIATIONS. Deviations to this Manual shall be approved through procedures established in DOE O 470.1, SAFEGUARDS AND SECURITY PROGRAM. 4. ASSISTANCE. Questions concerning this Manual should be directed to the Classified Matter Protection and Control Program Manager, at 301-903-4805. 5. IMPLEMENTATION. Most requirements in this directive are the same as those contained in the superseded directives. Implementation Plans for any requirements that cannot be implemented within 6 months of the effective date of this Manual or within existing resources shall be developed by Heads of Field Elements and submitted to the Office of Safeguards and Security.

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. CANCELE D DOE M 471.2-1 II-1 9-26-95 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 9-26-95 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. CANCELE D DOE M 471.2-1 II-9 9-26-95 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. (1) Protected in accordance with the assigned classification. (2) Destroyed when no longer needed. (3) Accounted for (if required) and controlled in the manner prescribed for a finished document of the same classification when the working papers are: (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. h. Classified Information System Media. (1) Removable Storage Media. Removable storage media that contains accountable classified information shall be entered into accountability in the same manner as working papers and drafts. Appropriate data regarding the existence of accountable fixed media shall be identified in the security plan and maintained with the system documentation. Accountability is not required for storage media that contains non-accountable classified information. (2) Files and Documents. Accountability is not required for individual files/documents contained on storage media regardless of the classification level involved. (3) Top Secret. Contractors must maintain a system identifying the contracting activity, the classified contract, and a general description of the TOP SECRET information contained on the storage media. This requirement may be accomplished through maintaining current back-up copies of the information, generating a directory listing/index of the classified files, or documenting the classified files accessed in the security operation log. 5. REPRODUCTION. a. General. (1) Documents may contain markings that limit reproduction without the specific, written approval of the originator. (2) Departmental Elements and contractors shall establish local controls for the reproduction of classified documents. Reproduction of classified documents shall be limited to the minimum number of copies consistent with operational requirements and any further reproduction limitations shown on the document.

Section 11

(3) Reproduced copies are subject to the same protection and control requirements as the original. CANCELE D II-10 DOE M 471.2-1 9-26-95 (4) Reproduction restrictions shall not restrict the reproduction of documents to facilitate review for declassification. However, after such reviews, reproduced documents remaining classified must be destroyed in accordance with Chapter III, paragraph 9. b. Top Secret. Only TOP SECRET Control Officers may reproduce TOP SECRET documents. TOP SECRET matter shall not be reproduced or photographed without written authorization. However, an approved contract that requires generation or reproduction of TOP SECRET matter will satisfy this requirement, and additional authorization will not be required. c. Secret and Confidential. Unless specifically prohibited, SECRET and CONFIDENTIAL documents may be reproduced without the permission of the originator. Documents shall only be reproduced in the performance of official and contractual duties. d. Equipment. Classified documents shall be reproduced on equipment specifically designated for such purpose. To the greatest extent possible, these machines shall be located within Limited Areas, Protected Areas, or Exclusion Areas. e. Mailing Lists. When graphic arts facilities receive standard mailing or distribution lists for the purpose of mailing reproduced classified documents, either the appropriate Departmental Element or the prime contractor is responsible for verifying the need-to-know, facility approval, and protection capability of the intended recipients of the documents. If this requirement and appropriate instructions have been 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 designated control station (regardless of the type of mail system), 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 station records. c. Packaging. Classified matter to be transmitted outside a facility shall be double-wrapped (enclosed in opaque inner and outer containers) except as specified below.

Section 12

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.

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 CANCELE D DOE M 471.2-1 III-3 9-26-95 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 D III-4 DOE M 471.2-1 9-26-95 (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.
