f. Management shall be involved in and supportive of all aspects of information security. |
This involvement and support shall be demonstrated by regular visits to and inspections
of information security operations to ensure that operations meet existing standards and
policies.
g. Management shall ensure that information security is included and documented in|
protection program planning documents. Site-specific characteristics shall be considered
and documented to ensure that information is properly controlled.
2. SECURITY INFRACTIONS. An infraction is any knowing, willful, or negligent action
contrary to the requirements of this Order that does not constitute a violation of law or result
in the actual compromise or the unauthorized disclosure of classified information.
Requirements for handling violations are contained in DOE O 470.1.
a. Report of Security Infraction. DOE F 5639.3, "Report of Security Incident/Infraction,"
or a similar form shall be used to document infractions and a copy of the report kept in

the employee's official DOE personnel security file. With each occurrence, security
practices or procedures shall be reviewed and revised, if necessary, to preclude
recurrence.
b. Records of Security Infractions. The safeguards and security organization or officer
reporting the security infraction and the cognizant Departmental Element shall maintain
records of each infraction.
c. Disciplinary or Corrective Actions.
(1) For DOE employees, disciplinary or corrective action shall be determined by the
Heads of Departmental Elements in coordination with the Office of Personnel.
Any disciplinary or adverse action involving a DOE employee shall be according
to DOE 3750.1, WORK FORCE DISCIPLINE, of 3-23-83.
(2) For contractor employees, disciplinary or corrective action shall be determined by
appropriate management officials according to the contractor's personnel policies
and procedures.

been lost or compromised or is otherwise unaccounted-for shall take immediate action
to preclude any further or potential compromises and immediately report this
information to the facility security officer.
b. Inspection. Upon determining or learning that classified matter may be lost or
unaccounted-for, an inspection of the area where the matter was stored, handled, or
processed shall be conducted. Custodians providing support to the holder must be
queried. When applicable, the accountability records shall be audited for evidence of
destruction, transmission, or other disposition. The inspection and query process shall
be completed within 48 hours.

d. Damage Assessments.
(1) Purpose. Damage assessments to assess potential damage to national security are
required by 32 CFR, Chapter XX, Part 2000, "National Security Information,"
Section 2001.47 "Loss or Possible Compromise." Damage assessments are used
by responsible managers to determine future courses of action within the program
and by security personnel to evaluate possible countermeasures and cover actions
to limit potential damage.
(2) 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 matter, 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.

vulnerability and attractiveness, will be considered when calculating the level of OPSEC
activities required.
3. REQUIREMENTS. To meet the objectives of the OPSEC Program, the organization shall
accomplish the following.
a. Develop and maintain OPSEC plans, procedures, and program files. OPSEC plans will
include, at a minimum, goals, milestones, and, where applicable, an annex describing
actions to identify and counter imagery collection from air- and space-borne platforms,
OPSEC plans shall be reviewed and updated as required on an annual basis; a
memorandum reflecting completion of this action will be placed in the OPSEC files.
b. Establish a sufficient number of OPSEC working groups to perform the necessary
management and support functions required for an effective OPSEC program, to
