CHAPTER I
PROTECTION AND CONTROL PLANNING
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 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.
Section 3
3. PROTECTION STRATEGY.
a. Strategies for the protection and control of classified matter shall incorporate the
applicable requirements established in this manual. 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
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 for classified
matter 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. TRAINING. Personnel whose responsibilities include the generation, handling/use, storage,
reproduction, transmission, and/or destruction of classified matter shall receive appropriate
training to ensure such matter is not lost or compromised. Personnel responsible for
conducting official inquiries into incidents where classified matter is lost, compromised, or
potentially compromised shall receive training necessary to perform this duty.
6. 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 safeguards and security interest are
commensurate with its 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,
information which would assist an adversary in the development of a nuclear weapon, or
CANCELE
D
I-2 DOE M 471.2-1B
1-6-99
information that would assist an adversary in bypassing use control systems, could have
consequences so grave as to demand the highest attainable standard of security. Protection
of other safeguards and security 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.

Section 4
CLASSIFIED MATTER PROTECTION AND CONTROL
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
January 1995 and its supplement of February 1995.
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. The originator of matter that is prepared in a subject area that may be classified shall
ensure the matter is reviewed for classification by an Original or Derivative Classifier.
While the matter is pending classification review it shall be protected at the highest
potential classification level and category.
d. In medical emergency situations, classified information may be provided to the attending
physician when such information is essential for the treatment of the patient. In these
situations, a report of unauthorized disclosure shall be submitted in accordance with
Chapter IV.
e. Custodians and authorized users of classified matter are responsible for the protection
and control of such matter.
f. 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 access.
g. While most of the requirements of this Chapter apply to Foreign Government Information
(FGI), a separate paragraph has been established to facilitate the identification of
requirements specific to this information.
h. Classified matter, including “extra copies,” is the property of the U.S. Government and
will not be removed from the Government’s control by any departing or terminated DOE
or contractor employee. The Facility Security Officer shall establish control measures for
the retention of all classified Departmental records that may be in the possession of
departing employees.
2. IN USE. Classified matter in use shall be constantly attended by or under the control of a
person possessing the proper access authorization and a need-to-know. Local Departmental
and/or contractor safeguards and security authorities may establish written local policy that
allows classified matter to be left temporarily unattended during normal working hours
within a locked room that is within an attended Limited Area, Protected Area, Material
Access Area, or Exclusion Area. The period of time shall not exceed 2 hours. Locks shall
CANCELE
D
II-2 DOE M 471.2-1B
1-6-99
be uniquely coded or keyed, and appropriate control measures implemented to mitigate the
risk of unauthorized disclosure. Facilities shall describe the implementation of these
protection measures in facility security plans.
3. MARKING. 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 and category [if Restricted Data
(RD) or Formerly Restricted Data (FRD)]. Documents dated after 4/1/96 must be
marked in accordance with directives in place at the time of origin.
Section 5
(2) Markings. The following elements that are common to all classified documents
include: classification level, classification category (if RD or FRD), caveats (special
markings), classifier information, originator identification, classification of titles,
unique identification numbers (accountable only), and portion marking. Any
deviation from these markings will be specifically stated.
(3) Additional Guidance. 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.
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.
c. Classification Level.
(1) The overall classification level (i.e., TOP SECRET, SECRET, or
CONFIDENTIAL) of a document shall be marked on the top and bottom of the
cover page (if any), on the title page (if any), on the first page, and on the outside
of the back cover or last page.
(2) Each interior page of a classified document must be marked top and bottom with
the highest classification level (or unclassified) of that page or the overall
classification of the document.
(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.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 471.2-1B II-3
1-6-99
d. Classification Category.
(1) The overall category (if RD or FRD) of a document shall be marked on the cover
page (if any), title page (if any), and first page of text as follows:
RESTRICTED DATA
This document contains Restricted Data as defined in the Atomic Energy Act
of 1954. Unauthorized disclosure subject to Administrative and Criminal
Sanctions.
FORMERLY RESTRICTED DATA
Unauthorized disclosure subject to Administrative and Criminal Sanctions.
Handle as Restricted Data in Foreign Dissemination, Section 144.b, Atomic
Energy Act, 1954.
(2) Each interior page of a document containing RD or FRD must be marked with the
appropriate category of that page. If this is not feasible, the overall category of the
document (if RD or FRD) may be applied to every page. For interior pages, the
symbols “RD” for Restricted Data and “FRD” for Formerly Restricted Data may be
used. These markings shall be clearly distinguishable from the informational text.
(3) Classified material (if RD or FRD) 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.
(4) If significant cost and extensive reprogramming of automated information systems
are required to implement this requirement, facilities may delay implementation until
January 9, 2003, as long as documents generated from the automated information
system remain on-site and have a limited life expectancy.
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, in addition to
other required markings, will be placed on the cover page (if any), title page (if any), and
first page of text:
Section 6
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 By: (Name and Title): ___________________.
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
CANCELE
D
II-4 DOE M 471.2-1B
1-6-99
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.
(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 front cover (if any), title page (if any), and first page.
(3) Unclassified sensitive information shall not be marked in a manner that would be
confused with markings specified in this Manual for classified information (e.g.,
CONFIDENTIAL, etc.)
h. Portions.
(1) For National Security Information (NSI), each section, part, paragraph, graphic,
figure, or similar portion of any such document dated after 4/1/97 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,
(U) for UNCLASSIFIED, (UCNI) for Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information
and (OUO) for Official Use Only 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.
(2) Page changes to NSI documents dated after 4/1/97, shall be portion marked.
(3) Documents containing RD or FRD are not required to be portion marked.
(4) Portion markings shall include caveats (as applicable).
(5) 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-

apply.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 471.2-1B II-15
1-6-99
(1) Classified matter shall be delivered with the inner envelope unopened to personnel
designated to receive it at a control station(s). 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 safeguards and 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.
(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 addresses (i.e.,
mailing, shipping, or overnight), the overall level and category (if RD or FRD) 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.
Section 14
(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 address, return addressed to a classified address, and
marked with the overall level and category (if RD or FRD) of the contents and any
appropriate caveats. The outer container shall be addressed to a classified 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 level and
category (if RD or FRD) of the equipment but the address and return address may
be omitted. The outer container shall be addressed to a classified address, return
addressed to a classified mailing address, and sealed with no markings or notations
to indicate that the contents are classified.
CANCELE
D
II-16 DOE M 471.2-1B
1-6-99
(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, the
briefcase may serve as the outer container. The inner container shall be sealed,
addressed with the sender’s and recipient’s classified address, and marked with the
overall level and category (if RD or FRD) of the contents and with any appropriate
caveats. The briefcase (outer container) must indicate the return classified 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.

10. FOREIGN GOVERNMENT INFORMATION
a. General.
(1) Foreign government information is safeguarded in order to provide a degree of
protection at least equivalent to that required by the government or international
organization of governments that furnished the information. When adequate to
achieve equivalency, standards may be less restrictive than the safeguarding
standards that ordinarily apply to U.S. CONFIDENTIAL information, including
allowing access to individual with a need-to-know who have not otherwise been
cleared for access to classified information. A matrix of US equivalent
classification levels is contained in DOE Guide 471.2-1, CLASSIFIED MATTER
PROTECTION AND CONTROL IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE.
(2) The front page of documents that contain foreign government information shall
include the marking, “This document contains (indicate country of origin)
information.” If the identify of the specific government must be concealed, the
document shall be marked, “This document contains foreign government
information.”
(3) In cases where the identity of the specific government must be concealed, a
separate record that identifies the foreign government shall be maintained in order
to facilitate subsequent declassification actions. When classified records are
transferred to the National Archives and Records Administration for storage or
archival purposes, the accompanying documentation shall at a minimum, identify
the boxes that contain foreign government information. If the fact that information
is foreign government information must be concealed, the markings described in
this paragraph shall not be used and the document shall be marked as if it were
wholly of U.S. origin.
Section 22
(4) The requirements provided in this paragraph are additional to other protection and
control measures provided in this Manual. These requirements are not applicable to
NATO information. NATO classified information shall be safeguarded in
compliance with the U.S. Security Authority for NATO Instructions.
(5) The requirements provided in this paragraph may be modified if necessary or
permitted by treaties or agreements, or for other obligations, with the prior written
consent of the National Security Authority of the originating government.
(6) The following paragraphs contain additional requirements pertaining to FGI:
(a) Chapter II., paragraph 3.h.(5)
(b) Chapter II., paragraph 3.t.
b. TOP SECRET. The following requirements will be implemented for TOP SECRET FGI:
(1) Entered into accountability.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 471.2-1B II-27
1-6-99
(2) Reproduced only with the consent of the originating government.
(3) Destruction will be witnessed.
c. SECRET. The following requirements will be implemented for SECRET FGI:
(1) Entered into accountability.
(2) Reproduced to meet mission requirements, unless specifically prohibited by the
originating government.
d. CONFIDENTIAL. No records are required to be maintained for CONFIDENTIAL FGI,
unless required by the originator.
e. CONFIDENTIAL FGI - Modified Handling Required (C/FGI-Mod). To assure the
protection of other foreign government information provided in confidence, it must be
classified under E.O. 12958. If the foreign protection requirement is lower than the
protection required for U.S. CONFIDENTIAL information, the following requirements
shall be met:
(1) Marking. Documents may maintain their original foreign markings, if the markings
provide immediate recognition that the information requires special protection and
control. Otherwise, the first page of the FGI documents shall be marked as follows:
“This document contains (insert name of country) (insert classification level)
information to be treated as CONFIDENTIAL - Modified Handling
Authorized”
If remarking is impractical, an authorized cover sheet (DOE F 5639.4) may be used.
(2) Need-To-Know. Access to C/FGI-MOD does not require DOE access
authorization. However, such documents shall only be provided to those who have
an established need-to-know, and where access is required by official duties.
(3) Notification of Requirements. Individuals being given access to C/FGI-MOD shall
be notified of applicable handling instructions. This may be accomplished by a
briefing, written instructions or by applying the approved cover sheet.
(4) Protection. C/FGI-MOD will be protected in the following manner:
(a) Protection in Use. Physical control shall be maintained over any matter
marked as containing C/FGI-MOD so as to prevent unauthorized access to the
information.
(b) Protection in Storage. C/FGI-MOD matter shall be stored to preclude
unauthorized disclosure. Storage of such matter with other unclassified matter
in unlocked receptacles, such as file cabinets, desks, or bookcases, is adequate
CANCELE
D
II-28 DOE M 471.2-1B
1-6-99
when Government or Government-contractor internal building security is
provided during non-duty hours. When such internal building security is not
provided, locked rooms or buildings provide adequate after-hours protection.
If rooms or buildings are not locked or otherwise controlled, C/FGI-MOD
matter shall be stored in locked receptacles, such as file cabinets, desks, or
bookcases.
Section 23
(5) Reproduction. Matter marked as containing C/FGI-MOD may be reproduced
without permission of the originator to the minimum extent necessary consistent
with the need to carry out official duties. The reproduced matter must be marked
and protected in the same manner as the original matter. Copy machine
malfunctions must be cleared with all paper paths checked for C/FGI-MOD
material. Excess paper containing C/FGI-MOD shall be destroyed as described
below.
(6) Destruction. At a minimum, C/FGI-MOD matter must be destroyed by using strip
cut shredders that result in particles of no more than 1/4-inch wide strips. Other
ways providing sufficient destruction may be approved by the local security office.
Note that the decision to dispose of any DOE matter, whether or not it contains
C/FGI-MOD, must be consistent with the policies and procedures for records
disposition.
(7) Transmission. Transmission shall be by means to preclude unauthorized disclosure
or dissemination.
(a) Outside a Facility.
1 Matter marked as containing C/FGI-MOD shall be packaged in a single,
opaque envelope or wrapping.
2 Any of the following U.S. mail methods may be used: U.S. First Class,
Express, Certified, or Registered Mail may be used.
3 Any commercial carrier.
4 Matter may be hand-carried as long as strict control can be maintained at
all times.
(b) Within a Facility.
1 A standard distribution envelope, such as the U.S. Government Messenger
Envelope (Standard Form No. 65-B) or equivalent, may be used.
2 Matter may be hand-carried as long as strict control can be maintained at
all times.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 471.2-1B II-29 (and II-30)
1-6-99
(c) Over Telecommunications Circuits. The use of telecommunications services,
including voice (telephonic, point-to-point), facsimile, narrative message,
communications facilities and radio communications, must consider and use the
most security readily available for the transmission of C/FGI-MOD over this
form of media. These considerations include, but may not be limited to,
physical, personnel, administrative, and communications protective features
and any other supplemental controls established to provide an acceptable level
of protection for C/FGI-MOD. These protective features must deter access to
C/FGI-MOD by unauthorized individuals and restrict public releasability.
If C/FGI-MOD is transmitted over public switched broadcast communications
paths (e.g., Internet) then the information must be protected by encryption. In
emergency situations, facility management may make a determination to waive
encryption requirements.
(d) Automated Information Systems (AIS). The AIS or AIS network must ensure
that only personnel authorized access to C/FGI-MOD can access that
information. For instance, networks interconnected with a public switched-
broadcast network - like Internet, must provide provisions (e.g.,
authentication, file access controls, etc.) to ensure that C/FGI-MOD is
protected against unauthorized access. C/FGI-MOD being transmitted over
broadcast networks like the Internet, where unauthorized access is possible,
must provide protection (e.g., encryption) to ensure that the information is not
improperly accessed.
f. Third-country Transfers. The release or disclosure of foreign government information to
any third-country entity must have the prior consent of the originating government if
required by a treaty, agreement, bilateral exchange, or other obligation.
Section 24
g. FGI Containing Unclassified U.S. Information. Documents containing U.S. unclassified
information and FGI require protection as C/FGI-MOD.
h. FGI Containing Classified U.S. Information. FGI may be enhanced by applying U.S.
classified information during the analysis phase of assistance. In these cases, unless there
is a current agreement for cooperation or treaty allowing the sharing of the specific
categories and levels of U.S. classified information, the FGI becomes restricted from
return to the originating government or international organization of governments.

4. INSPECTION FOR LOST OR UNACCOUNTED-FOR CLASSIFIED MATTER.
a. Upon determining or learning that classified matter may be lost or unaccounted-for, an
inspection of the area(s) where the matter was stored, handled, or processed shall be
initiated. The inspection process must be completed within 48 hours.
b. If the classified matter is found or otherwise accounted for and its safeguarding during
the period it was unaccounted for would preclude the possibility of its compromise, the
inspection will be discontinued and a determination made as to the cause of the incident.
If the incident did not constitute a violation of U.S. law, the categorization, notification,
and reporting requirements, set forth below in paragraph 6, are not required.
Section 29
c. If the classified matter is either not found, or is found or otherwise accounted for but the
safeguarding during the period it was unaccounted for would not preclude the possibility
of its potential compromise, the categorization, notification, and reporting requirements,
set forth below in paragraph 6, are required.
5. REPORTABLE INCIDENTS.
a. When loss/compromise has occurred, or the circumstances of the incident cannot rule out
the possibility of compromise.

potentially compromised was originated by another Government agency or foreign
government.
(3) The Director of Energy Intelligence if the loss, potential compromise, or
unauthorized disclosure involved intelligence-related information.
(4) The Office of Declassification when the incident involved misclassification or
improper declassification by an authorized classifier/declassifier.
d. Under no circumstances shall classified or UCNI information be entered into the
unclassified ORPS database. The transmission in any manner of classified and UCNI
information shall be handled in accordance with the requirements of the appropriate
security orders.
7. INQUIRY. An inquiry shall be initiated by an appointed Inquiry Official (with previous
inquiry experience) within 24 hours of the initial discovery and report of a potential
compromise or unauthorized disclosure of classified information, or within 24 hours of the
completion of an inspection concerning unaccounted-for classified information.
a. The inquiry will examine and report all the pertinent facts and circumstances related to
the matter under inquiry, which will include but not necessarily be limited to the
following:
CANCELE
D
DOE M 471.2-1B IV-3
1-6-99
(1) Determine whether the lost, potentially compromised, or compromised information
was properly classified or could be declassified. If an authorized classifier
determines that the information is unclassified or can be declassified, the inquiry can
be discontinued, however, if the information contained classification markings, all
known holders of the information shall be notified so that all copies of the
information under government control are declassified and marked accordingly.
Section 30
(2) If the lost, potentially compromised, or compromised information is determined to
be classified, the individuals who may have knowledge regarding the incident shall
be interviewed. Upon conclusion of the interview, these individuals may also be
requested to provide an official written statement concerning their knowledge of or
involvement in the incident.
(3) Complete DOE F 5639.2 (formerly DOE F 5635.11), “Reporting Unaccounted for
Documents,” or a form comparable in content when classified information is lost or
unaccounted-for.
(4) Determine the owner of the lost/compromised or potentially compromised
information (i.e., the DOE Secretarial Officer with programmatic responsibility for
the information or whether the information was originated by another Government
agency or foreign government).
(5) Determine whether loss/compromise did or did not occur, the probability of
compromise is remote, or the probability of compromise is not remote. The basis
for such findings must be documented.
(6) If loss/compromise has occurred or the circumstances of the incident cannot rule
out the possibility of compromise, establish the extent of the dissemination of the
classified information and ensure that appropriate measures (e.g., sanitizing
electronic media) are taken to mitigate the loss, potential compromise, or
unauthorized disclosure.
(7) Determine the cause(s) of the incident, to include root, direct, and contributing
causes as required by DOE Manual 232-1-1A.
(8) Determine the individual(s) responsible for the incident.
(9) Determine whether the incident involves an inadvertent or deliberate failure to
follow DOE safeguards and security regulations and directives, a statute, Executive
Order, and/or a national directive that does not constitute a crime, or a violation of
U.S. laws or their implementing regulations. Ensure that all violations of U.S. laws
applicable to the matter under inquiry are identified. When an inquiry establishes
credible information that a violation of U.S. law pertaining to the unauthorized
disclosure of classified information has occurred, the Department of Justice (DOJ)
Eleven-point Criteria must be completed. The completion of the DOJ Eleven-point
Criteria is not required for any other violations of U.S. law (i.e., except
unauthorized disclosures). When completing the DOJ Eleven-point Criteria, all
CANCELE
D
IV-4 DOE M 471.2-1B
1-6-99
documentation and appropriate information must be provided to support affirmative
responses to the 11 criteria (i.e., questions) listed below. In addition, each question
must be answered affirmatively for DOJ to initiate a formal investigation into the
unauthorized disclosure. However, a failure to affirmatively answer all criteria of
the DOJ 11 points does not preclude DOE from pursuing criminal action for an
unauthorized disclosure.
(a) Could the date and identity of the article or articles disclosing the classified
information be provided?
(b) Could specific statements in the article which are considered classified be
identified? Was the data properly classified?
(c) Is the classified data that was disclosed accurate? If so, provide the name of
the person competent to testify concerning the accuracy?
(d) Did the data come from a specific document and, if so, what is the origin of the
document and the name of the individual(s) responsible for the security of the
classified data disclosed?
(e) Could the extent and official dissemination of the data be determined?
Section 31
(f) Has it been determined that the data has not been officially released in the past?
(g) Has it been determined that prior clearance for publication or release of the
information was not granted by proper authorities?
(h) Does review reveal that educated speculation on the matter cannot be made
from material, background data, or portions thereof which have been published
officially or have previously appeared in the press?
(i) Could the data be made available for the purpose of prosecution? If so,
include the name of the person competent to testify concerning the
classification?
(j) Has it been determined that declassification had not been accomplished prior to
the publication or release of the data?
(k) Will disclosure of the classified data have an adverse impact on the national
defense?
(10) Estimate the known or probable damage to the national security that has resulted or
may result for all reportable occurrences.
(11) Determine the corrective action(s) to be taken to prevent recurrence.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 471.2-1B IV-5

(12) Document the findings of the inquiry (i.e., the facts and circumstances related to the
matter under inquiry) in a written report. The Reports shall include the facility
name and facility code (as registered in DOE’s Safeguards and Security Information
Management System) or other identification as appropriate for the facility
responsible for the incident, and the facility where the incident occurred.
(a) If the inquiry determines that the facts of the incident rule out the possibility of
compromise and in addition the incident did not constitute a violation of U.S.
criminal laws, the Inquiry Official is not required to produce a formal Report of
Inquiry. The DOE Form 5639.3, “Report of Security Incident/Infraction,” or a
form comparable in content, can be used for documenting such incidents, to
include corrective action taken to prevent recurrence.
(b) If the inquiry determines that loss/compromise has occurred, the circumstances
of the incident cannot rule out the possibility of compromise, and/or a violation
of criminal law appears to have occurred, the facts and circumstances related
to the matter under inquiry shall be documented in a written official Report of
Inquiry. Attachments to the Report of Inquiry shall include the Memorandum
of Appointment of the Inquiry Official, any signed statements of involved
individuals, a copy of the lost/compromised or potentially compromised
information or a description of same (as appropriate), completed DOE Form
5639.3, a copy of the final ORPS occurrence report for the incident, and any
other information important to the inquiry.
b. At a minimum, the following distribution shall be made upon completion of the reports.
If there is any significant change or new information about the incident, to include the
status of criminal prosecutions, update reports identifying the incident and providing the
new information shall also be distributed in a prompt manner to the following:
(1) A copy of the DOE Form 5639.3, or a form comparable in content, shall be
forwarded through the cognizant DOE safeguards and security organization, to the
Office of Safeguards and Security.
(2) A copy of the written official Report of Inquiry, with supporting
statements/documentation, shall be forwarded, through the cognizant DOE
safeguards and security organization, to the Office of Safeguards and Security and
the Secretarial Officer with programmatic responsibility for the lost, potentially
compromised, or compromised classified information.
Section 32
8. DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS AND CORRECTIVE MEASURES. Upon completion of the
inquiry, the cognizant DOE safeguards and security organization shall ensure:
a. The party(ies) responsible for the loss, potential compromise, or unauthorized disclosure
of classified information are identified and punished appropriately. The appropriate
administrative, disciplinary, or other adverse action may be taken at any time for DOE
and contractor employees. However, whenever a criminal violation appears to have
occurred and a criminal prosecution is contemplated against a DOE and/or contractor
CANCELE
D
IV-6 DOE M 471.2-1B
1-6-99
employee(s) believed responsible for the loss/compromise of classified information, such
disciplinary action will be coordinated with the appropriate investigative or prosecuting
officials to avoid prejudice to any criminal investigation or prosecution.
b. Whenever a criminal violation appears to have occurred and a criminal prosecution is
contemplated against any person(s) believed responsible for the loss/compromise of
classified information, the cognizant DOE safeguards and security organization
responsible for the inquiry shall apprise the legal counsel of the Departmental Element
(i.e., Office of the General Counsel or Chief Counsel Office) where the individual(s)
responsible is assigned or employed.
c. Corrective actions are taken to preclude recurrence of conditions or activities that
allowed or contributed to the loss, potential compromise, or unauthorized disclosure of
classified information.
9. DAMAGE ASSESSMENTS.
a. Purpose. Damage assessments are used by the Department of Justice when criminal
prosecution is sought, by responsible managers to determine future courses of action
within the program, and by security personnel for evaluating possible countermeasures
and document actions to limit potential damage.
b. When Required.
(1) Whenever the inquiries disclose evidence that classified information has been
compromised and the compromise can reasonably be expected to cause damage to
the national security, a damage assessment is required.
(2) Whenever a violation of criminal law(s) appears to have occurred and a criminal
prosecution is contemplated, a damage assessment is required..
(3) Whenever the inquiries disclose evidence that classified information may have been
compromised (i.e., the circumstances of the incident cannot confirm compromise,
however, the possibility of compromise cannot be ruled out), and the compromise
of this classified information could be expected to cause damage to the national
security, the Secretarial Officer with programmatic responsibility for the potentially
compromised classified information must determine whether a damage assessment
is required. This determination shall be based on the circumstances of the
loss/compromise and the sensitivity of the information.
c. Conduct of Damage Assessment. The Secretarial Officer with programmatic
responsibility for the compromised or potentially-compromised classified information
shall appoint a Federal 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 and/or hostile organizations.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 471.2-1B IV-7
1-6-99
Section 33
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 or
potentially-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 team performing the damage assessment shall prepare a draft assessment and
coordinate it with the originator of the compromised or potentially-compromised
information.
(3) The damage assessment shall then be approved by the Secretarial Officer with
programmatic responsibility for the compromised or potentially-compromised
information and, at a minimum, submitted to the Office of Safeguards and Security,
the Office of Declassification, and the cognizant DOE safeguards and security
organization responsible for the inquiry.
(4) The assessment team will provide any additional assessment effort and supporting
documentation needed to the Office of Safeguards and Security to complete any
required DOE action.
e. Content of a Damage Assessment Report. At a minimum, damage assessment reports
shall contain the following:
(1) Identification of the source, date, and circumstances of the compromise or potential
compromise.
(2) Classification of the specific information compromised or potentially compromised.
(3) Description of the specific information compromised or potentially compromised.
(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 governments and/or hostile
organizations resulting from the compromise or potential compromise.
(6) An assessment and recommendation to the Office of Declassification as to whether
classification of the information should be continued without change; specific
information, or parts thereof, shall be modified to minimize or nullify the effects of
the reported loss/compromise and the classification retained; and downgrading,
declassification, or upgrading is warranted.
(7) An assessment of whether countermeasures are appropriate and feasible to negate
or minimize the effect of the compromise or potential compromise.
CANCELE
D
IV-8 DOE M 471.2-1B
1-6-99
(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 loss, potential compromise, or unauthorized disclosure of classified
information, damage assessments shall be coordinated with the legal counsel of the DOE
Element (i.e., Office of the General Counsel or Chief Counsel Office) where the
individual responsible is assigned or employed.
g. Combining Similar Documents. Damage assessments may be completed for a group of
similar incidents when such 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 the same or similar
damage to the national security or advantage to foreign governments and/or hostile
organizations.
Section 34
h. Cases Involving Other Government Agency Information. Whenever a compromise or
potential compromise involves the classified information of another Government agency,
the cognizant DOE safeguards and security organization responsible for the inquiry shall
provide, through the Office of Safeguards and Security, the circumstances and findings
that affect the other government agency’s information or interests.
i. Cases Involving Foreign Government Information. Whenever a compromise or potential
compromise involves the classified information of a foreign government, the cognizant
DOE safeguards and security organization responsible for the inquiry shall provide,
through the Office of Safeguards and Security, the circumstances and findings that affect
the foreign government’s information or interests, however, the foreign government shall
not normally be advised of any DOE security system vulnerability(ies) that allowed or
contributed to the compromise or potential compromise.
j. Joint Damage Assessment with Another Government Agency. Whenever a compromise
or possible compromise involves the classified information or interests of more than one
government agency, the following conditions apply:
(1) Another government agency has the inherent responsibility to conduct the damage
assessment on their compromised or potentially compromised information.
(2) Whenever a compromise or potential compromise involves the classified
information of DOE and another government agency, and if more than one damage
assessment is performed, the DOE Element responsible for the DOE damage
assessment shall provide, through the Office of Safeguards and Security, the
findings to the other government agency.
(3) When a joint damage assessment is to be made, the Office of Safeguards and
Security will coordinate assignment of responsibility between DOE and the other
government agency.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 471.2-1B IV-9 (and IV-10)
1-6-99
(4) Whenever a compromise or potential 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
Safeguards and Security shall ensure, through appropriate intergovernmental liaison
channels, that information pertinent to the assessment is obtained.
(5) Whenever a compromise or potential compromise of Sensitive Compartmented
Information has occurred, the Director 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.
10. SYSTEM OF CONTROL. DOE Elements and contractors at facilities shall establish a
system of controls and procedures to ensure that inquiries and damage assessments are
conducted when required, that all information pertinent to the matter under inquiry is
maintained in the official file for the incident, and that those records are maintained in a
manner that facilitates their retrieval and use.
11. RECORDS RETENTION. Records pertaining to the loss, potential compromise, or
unauthorized disclosure of classified information shall be destroyed 5 years after the close of
all associated actions. These records shall not be sent to Federal Records Centers.
