INFORMATION SECURITY
1. PURPOSE. The protection and control of classified information is critical to our
Section 5
nation’s security. This Order establishes requirements and responsibilities for
Department of Energy (DOE) Departmental Elements, including the National Nuclear
Security Administration (NNSA), to protect and control classified information as
required by statutes, regulation, Executive Orders, government-wide policy directives
and guidelines, and DOE policy and directives. Such requirements and responsibilities
include providing direction to Departmental programs and contractors to ensure that all
applicable laws, regulations, policies, directives and other requirements are followed
or achieved, and that classified information is properly protected and controlled.
2. CANCELLATION. (DOE M 470.4-4A Chg. 1, Information Security Manual, dated
10-12-2010, except for Section D – Technical Surveillance Countermeasures, which will
be retained in its entirety as the policy referenced in Paragraph 4.g. of this Order.)
Cancellation of a directive does not, by itself, modify or otherwise affect any contractual
or regulatory obligation to comply with the directive. Contractor Requirements
Documents (CRDs) that have been incorporated into a contract remain in effect
throughout the term of the contract unless and until the contract or regulatory
commitment is modified to either eliminate requirements that are no longer applicable or
substitute a new set of requirements.
3. APPLICABILITY.
a. Departmental Elements.
(1) Except as otherwise indicated in this section, the requirements in this
Order apply to all Departmental Elements that possess, may possess
or have authority to possess classified information.
(2) The Administrator of the NNSA must ensure that NNSA employees
comply with their responsibilities under this Directive. Nothing in this
Directive will be construed to interfere with the NNSA
Administrator’s authority under section 3212(d) of the National
Nuclear Security Administration Act (“NNSA Act”) (50 U.S.C. §
2402(d)) to establish Administration-specific policies, unless
disapproved by the Secretary.
(3) This Order applies to the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). The
BPA Administrator will assure that BPA employees and contractors
comply with their respective responsibilities under this directive
consistent with BPA’s self financing, procurement and other statutory
authorities.
(4) In accordance with the responsibilities and authorities assigned by the
NNSA Act (50 U.S.C. § 2406) and Executive Order 12344 (February
1, 1982), codified 50 U.S.C. § 2511, and to ensure consistency
throughout the joint Navy/DOE Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program,
2 DOE O 471.6
6-20-2011
the Deputy Administrator for Naval Reactors (Director) will
implement and oversee requirements and practices pertaining to this
Directive for activities under the Director’s cognizance, as deemed
appropriate.
(5) The requirements in this Order apply to DOE (and DOE contractor)
activities and facilities that are subject to licensing and related regulatory
authority or certification by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
The requirements in this Order should be applied consistent with
Executive Order 12829, "Executive National Industrial Security
Program" (January 6, 1993), the 1996 “Memorandum of Understanding
Between the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission Under the Provisions of the National Industrial
Security Program” as may be amended or superseded, and related
Section 6
memoranda of understanding between NRC and DOE concerning
classified information, executed in accordance with applicable laws,
regulations, policies, directives, and requirements.
(6) Additional direction may apply or take precedence over this
Order regarding the possession, handling and control of
Sensitive Compartmented Information.
b. DOE Contractors. The CRD, Attachment 1, sets forth requirements that apply to
contracts that include the CRD. This CRD, or its requirements, must be included in
all contracts that involve classified information and contain DEAR clause 952.204-
2, titled Security. A violation of the provisions of the contract/CRD relating to the
safeguarding or security of Restricted Data (RD) or other classified information
may result in a civil penalty pursuant to subsection a. of section 234B of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. § 2282b). The procedures for
the assessment of civil penalties are set forth in Title 10, Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), Part 824, Procedural Rules for the Assessment of Civil
Penalties for Classified Information Security Violations.
c. Equivalencies/Exemptions for DOE O 471.6. Equivalencies and exemptions from
the requirements of this Order are processed in accordance with DOE O 251.1C,
Departmental Directive Program.
When conditions warrant, equivalencies or exemptions from the requirements in
this Order, requests must be supported by a vulnerability assessment (VA) when
required by the assets being protected, or by sufficient analysis to form the basis
for an informed risk management decision, the analysis must identify
compensatory measures, if applicable, or alternative controls to be implemented.
All approved equivalencies and exemptions under this Order must be entered in
the Safeguards and Security Information Management System (SSIMS) database
and incorporated into the affected security plan(s). Approved equivalencies and
exemptions become a valid basis for operation when they have been entered in
SSIMS and documented in the appropriate security plan, and they must be
incorporated into site procedures at that time.
DOE O 471.6 3
6-20-2011
Many DOE safeguards and security (S&S) Program requirements are found in
or based on regulations issued by Federal agencies, and codified in the CFR or
other authorities, such as Executive Orders or Presidential Directives. In such
cases, the process for deviating from those requirements found in the source
document must be applied. If the source document does not include a deviation
process, the DOE Office of the General Counsel, or NNSA Office of General
Counsel if an NNSA element is involved, must be consulted to determine
whether deviation from the source can be legally pursued.
4. REQUIREMENTS.
a. General.
(1) Classified information in all forms must be protected in accordance
with all applicable laws, regulations, policies, directives, and other
requirements.
(2) NNSA and DOE program offices must provide direction to Federal
personnel, contractors, and any other organizational elements to ensure
that all DOE and national policies, objectives, and requirements are
implemented and achieved. They must also establish or provide
direction for establishing each Officially Designated Federal Security
Authority (ODFSA) and Officially Designated Security Authority
(ODSA) necessary to fulfill their respective roles in accordance with all
applicable delegations and authorities.
Section 7
(3) All procedures utilized to protect classified information must
be documented in security plans.
(4) Authorized access to classified information requires appropriate
clearance, relevant access approval, and need to know.
(5) All classified information must be protected from unauthorized access.
(6) Methods to deter, detect, respond to, and mitigate unauthorized access
to classified information must be implemented.
(7) All classified information, including but not limited to that which is
generated, received, transmitted, used, stored, reproduced, or
permanently placed (buried according to the requirements of this
Order) — until it is destroyed or otherwise no longer classified —
must be protected and controlled commensurate with its classification
level, category, and caveats (if applicable). All pertinent attributes
must be used to determine the degree of protection and control
required to prevent unauthorized access to classified information.
(Examples of such attributes include, but are not limited to size,
location, and configuration.)
4 DOE O 471.6
6-20-2011
All individuals who are authorized for access to classified information must
receive instruction with respect to their specific security duties as necessary to
ensure that they are knowledgeable about their responsibilities and applicable
requirements.
b. Handling and Protection. Handling and protection procedures must be established,
documented, and adhered to for classified information throughout its lifecycle
(which includes origination, classification, marking, accountability, in-use, storage,
reproduction, transmission, and destruction).
(1) Origination and Classification.
(a) Prior to classification review, information that may be
classified must be protected at the highest potential
classification level and category of the information it contains.
(b) The originator must ensure that a derivative or original
classifier reviews the information and determines its
classification including:
1 When unsure of the classification level or category of
a draft or working paper; and
2 For all final products that may contain
classified information.
(c) The originator must ensure that all classified matter
is appropriately marked according to the
classification determination.
(2) Marking.
(a) Marking Standards. Classified matter must include proper
and complete classification markings.
1 Classified matter must be reviewed and brought up to
current marking standards whenever it is released by the
current holder (“current holder” may be an individual,
specific office, or ad-hoc working group) or removed
from a state of permanent storage and placed into use.
2 When marking the level or category is not practical,
written notification of the classification must be
furnished to all recipients.
3 Documents that contain Transclassified Foreign Nuclear
Information (TFNI) must be marked TFNI following the
classification level on the top and bottom of the first
page and either on subsequent pages containing TFNI or
DOE O 471.6 5
6-20-2011
all pages, unless such documents (or pages) also contain
RD or Formerly Restricted Data (FRD). The “Declassify
on” line of documents containing TFNI must state “Not
Applicable (or N/A) to TFNI.” Documents containing
TFNI and other NSI, but no RD or FRD must be portion
marked. Portions containing TFNI must be marked with
the level and with the TFNI identifier (e.g., S/TFNI).
Section 8
4 32 CFR 2001, Classified National Security Information,
contains requirements for marking classified NSI
documents in the electronic environment.
(b) Examples. Marking examples may be found in the CMPC
Marking Resource at
https://powerpedia.energy.gov/w/images/0/09/DOE_CMP
C_Marking_Resource.pdf and Marking Classified
National Security Information at
http://www.archives.gov/isoo/training/marking-
booklet.pdf.
(c) Mixed Levels and Categories. When classified matter contains a
mix of information at various levels and categories that causes
the document to be marked at an overall level and category
higher than the protection level required for any of the individual
portions, a marking matrix may be used in addition to other
required markings. (For example, a document that contains
Confidential RD and Secret National Security Information [NSI]
would be required to be marked as Secret RD, the highest level
and most restrictive category, even though none of the
information in the document is Secret RD.) If the marking
matrix is used, the following marking, in addition to other
required markings, must be placed on the first page of text.
This document
contains:
Restricted Data at the (e.g., Confidential) level.
Formerly Restricted Data at the (e.g., Secret) level.
National Security Information at the (e.g., Secret)
level.
Classified by: Name and Title
(d) Portion Marking. When portion marking is required,
classified matter must be marked in a manner that clearly
indicates those portions that contain or reveal classified
information.

6 DOE O 471.6
6-20-2011
1 NSI documents (including page changes) dated after
April 1, 1997, must be portion marked.
2 All NSI documents that are in use (not in
approved storage) must be portion marked.
3 Documents containing RD or FRD are not required to
be portion marked.
(e) Subjects and Titles. Titles must be marked with the appropriate
classification (level; category if RD or FRD; and other
applicable caveats) or “U” if unclassified, and the marking must
be placed immediately preceding the item.
(f) Transmittal Documents. The first page of a transmittal document
must be marked with the highest level; most restrictive category
(if RD or FRD); and other applicable caveats of classified
information being transmitted and with an appropriate notation to
indicate its classification when the enclosures are removed.
(g) Working Papers. In addition to national requirements for working
papers, these documents must be marked as “Draft” or “Working
Paper” on the front cover until they are marked as final
documents. RD and FRD drafts and working papers also must
include the same markings as required for NSI drafts and
working papers. Classification warning information may also be
required per DOE O 475.2B or 32 CFR 2001.
Classified documents that are updated on a frequent basis,
commonly referred to as “living” documents (e.g., documents that
are part of an ongoing experiment or study) may be considered as
originating on each date they are changed. Security plans must
document specific techniques to demonstrate that working papers
and drafts are “living” documents.
(h) Other Government Agencies (OGAs) Not Conforming to DOE
Section 9
Marking Requirements. Documents received from OGAs that
have not been marked to conform to DOE requirements do not
need to be re marked. However, all documents received must
clearly indicate a classification level and category (if RD or
FRD) or TFNI identifiers, when applicable.
(i) Foreign Governments Not Conforming to DOE Marking
Requirements. Documents received from foreign governments
that have not been marked to conform to DOE requirements, do
not need to be re marked. However, all documents received must
clearly indicate a classification level and category (if RD or FRD)
or TFNI identifiers, when applicable.
DOE O 471.6 7
6-20-2011
(j) Cover Sheets. Cover sheets must be applied to all classified
documents when they are removed from a secure storage
repository (standard form [SF] 703 for Top Secret, SF 704 for
Secret, SF 705 for Confidential and DOE F 471.2 for
Confidential Foreign Government Information-Modified
Handling Authorized [C/FGI-MOD]).
(k) Media. When information is prepared on classified information
systems, the hard copy output (which includes paper, microfiche,
film, and other media) must be correctly marked either according
to its classification per review of the output or as a working
paper.
(3) Accountability.
(a) The following types of matter are accountable:
1 Top Secret matter;
2 Secret Restricted Data matter stored outside a limited
area (LA) or higher; and
3 Any matter designated as accountable by national,
international, or programmatic requirements.
Examples include, but are not limited to, Sigma 14
and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)
Atomal.
(b) All accountable matter must be managed such that:
1 Chain of custody is established, verified, and
documented from origination or receipt to destruction or
transfer outside of departmental control;
2 Each accountable item can be located at any given
time, whether stored or in use (the location of
accountable classified matter in approved permanent
burial must be documented, and this matter’s
unaccessed status must be verifiable); and
3 All discrepancies regarding inventories of
accountable matter are detected and reported to the
ODFSA.
(4) Classified Information in Use.
(a) When not in approved storage, all classified information must
be under the direct control of an individual who meets the
requirements for authorized access to the information.
8 DOE O 471.6
6-20-2011
(b) All users of classified information must prevent
unauthorized physical, visual, aural, cyber, and other
access.
(c) Classified information must only be processed on information

result in a net advantage to the national security of the United States
and comply with all applicable treaties, agreements and other
obligations. These determinations must be made in coordination with
the appropriate DOE Program Office.
(3) Before releasing classified information to any foreign government,
the receiving government must have agreed, in writing, to the
following stipulations:
(a) The receiving foreign government must not release the
information to a third party without the written approval of

acknowledge such rights.
(4) In some instances, new documents may be created that contain both U.S.
classified information and FGI. In this case, unless there is a current
agreement for cooperation (for RD or FRD) or an appropriate international
agreement (for NSI) allowing sharing of the specific categories and levels
of U.S. classified information, the enhanced FGI cannot be returned to the
originating government or international organization of governments.
(5) All transmittals to a foreign government that involve classified information
must be made by DOE unless a DOE contractor has prior written
authorization.
(6) The method of transmission of classified mail to any foreign government
must be approved by the Office of Environment, Health, Safety and
Security.
(7) Copies of receipts for physical transfer of classified information to foreign
entities must be contained in memoranda prepared by the Cognizant
Departmental Element and maintained by the cognizant program office.
