13. UNACCOUNTED-FOR/COMPROMISED MATTER OR COMPROMISES OF INFORMATION.
Section 8
a. Unaccounted-For Matter. This paragraph pertains to those situations where
classified matter has been or may have been lost, missing, or otherwise
unaccounted-for.
(1)
(2)
Discovery. Any person who determines that classified matter has been
or may have been lost, is missing, or is otherwise unaccounted-for
shall take immediate action to preclude any further or potential
compromises and report this information to the custodian or security
officer. The measures listed below apply to custodians who determine
or learn that classified matter is unaccounted-for.
Initial Search. Upon determining or learning that classified matter
may be unaccounted-for, a search of the immediate area where the matter
was stored, handled, or processed shall be conducted. When applicable,
the accountability records shall be audited for evidence of
destruction, transmission, or other disposition.
(a) If the matter is found or otherwise accounted-for with no
indication of compromise, no further actions need to be taken.
(b) If Secret or Confidential matter is unaccounted-for, the cognizant
safeguards and security organization or officer shall be notified
within 24 hours from initial indications of the unaccounted-for
status.
(c) If Sigma 1 or Sigma 2 Weapon Data matter is unaccounted-for, the
Office of Safeguards and Security (SA-1O), the appropriate
Secretarial Officer, and the Office of Military Applications
DOE 5639.1 13
10-19-92
(DP-20), through the cognizant safeguards and security organization
or officer shall be notified within 24 hours.
(d) If Top Secret matter, classified matter of another agency, or
classified matter of a foreign government is unaccounted-for,
SA-10 and the appropriate Secretarial Officer, through the
cognizant safeguards and security organization or officer, shall be
notified within 24 hours. Documents related to the Joint Atomic
Information Exchange Group (JAIEG) shall also be reported to DP-20
who will ensure appropriate reporting to JAIEG.
(3) Detailed Search. Unaccounted-for matter that cannot be reconciled
after the initial search and audit of records shall require a more
detailed search of the area where the matter may have been stored,
processed, and handled. Additionally, custodians of document control
stations providing immediate adjacent support, as well as one level
above and one level below the holder must be queried. The facility’s
security organization shall initiate a detailed search in an attempt to
ascertain whether or not a transmittal, receipt, or destruction may
have been administratively mishandled. The detailed search and query
process shall be completed within 48 hours. If the matter is found, or
otherwise accounted-for, the search process will be discontinued;
however, the facility security office shall review the surrounding
circumstances and procedures for possible corrective action.
(4) Preliminary Inquiry. The purpose of a preliminary inquiry is to
establish whether a compromise of classified information or a violation
of law has occurred. Preliminary inquiries shall be conducted as
expeditiously as possible and shall not be used as a means of holding
in abeyance a decision to initiate a full-scale inquiry.
(a) When all efforts fail to reconcile unaccounted-for matter, the
facility security office shall initiate a preliminary inquiry to
document and ensure all basic areas of consideration have been
satisfied. As a minimum the preliminary inquiry shall:
Section 9
1 Include an interview with the last known custodian and require
that individual, and any other personnel who may have pertinent
information, prepare signed memoranda on the protection and
control of the matter or the circumstances under which the
matter became unaccounted-for.
2 Include a review by an authorized classifier of the
classification assigned to the matter at the time it was
determined unaccounted-for. If another copy of the
unaccounted-for matter exists, arrangements shall be made to
review the current classification and hold the copy for
possible future reviews.
14 DOE 5639.1
10-19-92
(b)
(c)
Ensure the conduct of a physical search of the office of the
last known holder and other offices where the matter may
logically be found. A part of any search shall include a
review of the custodian’s records, the central files, and the
local central document control office (including downgrade and
declassification notices, destruction certificates, classified
document receipts, letters or transmittal, and incoming and
outgoing mail logs).
Determine the reason why the matter is unaccounted-for and
recommend action to prevent recurrence.
Assess the potential for compromise and determine if additional
investigation is required.
Provide adequate information to be used to complete the
Department of Justice eleven point criteria if deemed
necessary.
The preliminary inquiry shall be completed and a written report,
DOE F 5635.11, “Reporting Unaccounted For Documents,” or a form
similar in content, with supporting statements/documentation, shall
be forwarded to the cognizant Departmental Element safeguards and
security organization or officer. A classification review of the
form shall be performed by an authorized derivative classifier. An
example of DOE F 5635.11 is shown as Attachment 3. The cognizant
Departmental Element safeguards and security organization or
officer shall notify SA-10 and the responsible Secretarial Officer
in accordance with DOE 5000.3A, OCCURRENCE REPORTING AND PROCESSING
OF OPERATIONS INFORMATION, of 5-30-90.
The preliminary inquiry shall review the circumstances, procedures,
and activities surrounding the incident, and provide for-corrective
action to preclude recurrence.
(5) Records. (See paragraph 13e for records retention). For
accountability purposes, classified matter may be removed from
accountability records, if any, and maintained in a separate record of
unaccounted-for matter when:
(a)
(b)
All inquiries have been completed; and
Corrective actions have been implemented (commitments to implement
shall not constitute implementation).
b. Compromised Information. If the compromise or potential compromise is a
result of an unaccounted-for document, the procedures in paragraph 13a will
satisfy parallel requirements identified below.

assigned to the information at the time of the possible
compromise. When matter is involved, a copy of the matter
shall be held for possible future reviews.
3 A signed memorandum from the document custodian, if documents
were involved, regarding the protection and control of the
document at the time of the possible compromise.
4 A determination of how the possible compromise occurred and
recommended actions to prevent recurrence.
Preliminary inquiry shall be completed and a written report
(c)
with-supporting statements/documentation shall be forwarded to
SA-10 and the responsible Secretarial Officer through the cognizant
safeguards and security organization or officer. When the possible
compromise involves information or matter from another Government
agency or foreign government, SA-1 shall ensure the other agency or
government is informed of the results of the inquiry.
When a preliminary inquiry establishes credible information that a
violation of law may have occurred, notification to SA-10 and the
Secretarial Officer is required and the reporting requirements
identified in DOE 5000.3A must be followed. Upon completion of the
Department of Justice (DOJ) Eleven-point Criteria, the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) shall be notified. These criteria
have been established to assist DOE in conducting preliminary

(3) Detailed Review.
(a) Upon notification from the facility security office that the
preliminary inquiry has been completed, the cognizant DOE
safeguards and security organization or officer shall initiate a
detailed review to:
Section 11
DOE 5639.1
10-19-92
(b)
17
1 Establish the party or parties responsible for the compromise
of the classified information.
2 Review protection and control and other security procedures in
3 Ensure corrective actions are taken to preclude recurrence of
conditions or activities that allowed or contributed to the
compromise of classified information.
A report of the detailed review shall be prepared. This report
shall contain the following information and be transmitted to the
cognizant Secretarial Officer:
1 A complete description of the circumstances which led to the
discovery of the compromised information;
2 A complete description of the nature of information involved
(e.g.,, document, oral disclosure) to include date, subject,
classification level and category;
3 The estimated likelihood and extent of compromise with full
justification for the conclusions reached, supported by factual
information;
4 The individual(s) to whom any infractions have been assigned
and the disciplinary actions taken, if any;
5 Cause for the compromise (e.g., procedural or human failure);
and
6 The measures taken or contemplated to correct deficiencies or
prevent recurrence. If contemplated, provide estimated
completion dates. Include plan of action to ensure that
measures are taken.
(c) When classified information of another Government agency or foreign
government are involved, SA-1 will ensure they are informed of the
results of the detailed review for their use.
(d) When a detailed review establishes credible information that a
violation of law may have occurred, the matter shall be referred to
the FBI, which has the responsibility for investigating alleged or
suspected violations of Federal law. Notification to SA-10 and the
responsible Secretarial Officer is required and the reporting
requirements identified in DOE 5000.3A must be followed.
place.
18 DOE 5639.1
10-19-92
(e) If the results of the detailed review indicate that a compromise
has occurred or may have occurred and the cognizant Secretarial
Officer decides it can reasonably be expected to result in a
compromise, the Secretarial Officer will appoint a DOE employee to
conduct a damage assessment.
c. Damage Assessments. Damage assessments are required by 32 CFR, Chapter XX,
Part 2000, “National Security Information,” Section 2001.47 “Loss or
Possible Compromise.” The purpose of the damage assessment is to assess
potential damage to the national security in terms of programmatic impact.
Therefore the damage assessment will be most useful to the Secretarial
Officer in determining future courses of action within the program. The
damage assessment is also useful to security personnel in assessing
possible countermeasure and cover actions to limit the assessed damage.
When the inquiry into the loss of classified information or unaccounted-for
classified matter discloses evidence that information may have been
compromised and a compromise of the information 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 press or other members of the public, loss of classified
information, unaccounted-for classified matters, or through various other
circumstances. Both the circumstances of the loss and the sensitivity of
the information must be considered in determining when a damage assessment
is required.
Section 12
(1) Conduct of Damage Assessment. The Secretarial Officer with
programmatic responsibility for the compromised information will
appoint a DOE individual 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 the assessment of the value of the compromised information
to foreign governments or hostile organizations.
(2) Procedures. The following procedures shall be followed for all DOE
damage assessments.
(a) The originator of the compromised information shall provide the
cognizant Departmental Element safeguards and security organization
or officer 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.
(b) The originator shall immediately notify all holders of the matter
that it has been compromised.
DOE 5639.1
10-19-92
19
(c)
(d)
(e)
(f)
A review of previous damage assessments performed within DOE, on
file at SA-10, will be conducted by the team performing the damage
assessment to determine if the same or similar information has been
previously compromised, and the results of the damage assessment.
A draft assessment will be prepared by the team performing the
damage assessment and coordinated with the originator.
The damage assessment will then be approved by the Secretarial
Officer with programmatic oversight of the information and
submitted to SA-1.
The assessment team will provide any additional assessment effort
and supporting documentation needed by SA-10 to complete any
required DOE action.
(3) Damage assessments shall be in writing, and as a minimum, contain the
following:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(e)
(f)
(g)
(h)
Identification of the source, date, and circumstances of the
compromise.
Classification of the specific information lost.
A description of the specific information lost.
An analysis and statement of the known or probable damage to the
national security that has resulted or may result.
An assessment of the possible advantage to foreign powers resulting
from the compromise.
An assessment of whether the classification of the information
involved should be continued without change; the specific
information or parts thereof, that shall be modified to minimize or
nullify the effects of the reported compromise and the
classification retained; and downgrading, declassification, or
upgrading is warranted and, if so, confirmation of prompt
notification to holders of any change.
An assessment of whether countermeasures are appropriate and
feasible to negate or minimize the effect of the compromise.
An assessment of other appropriate corrective, administration,
disciplinary, or legal actions.
20 DOE 5639.1
10-19-92
(4) Whenever an action is contemplated against any person believed
responsible for the compromise of classified information, damage
assessments shall be coordinated with the DOE General Counsel (GC-1).
(5) Compromise of outside agencies’ classified information shall be
reported to the originating agency by SA-1. The report to the
originating agency must include all data pertinent to the compromise to
assist in their conduct of a damage assessment.
Section 13
(6) 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.
(7) Compromise Involving Another Government Agency’s Information:
(a) The other agency has the inherent responsibility to conduct the
damage assessment on their information that was lost/compromised.
(b) Whenever a compromise involves the classified information of DOE
and another agency, and if more than one damage assessment is
performed, the Departmental Element responsible for the DOE damage
assessment shall provide, through SA-1, the findings to the other
agency.
(c) When a joint assessment is to be made, SA-1 will coordinate the
assignment of responsibility between DOE and the other agency.
(d) Whenever a compromise of DOE classified information is the result
of actions taken by foreign nationals, by foreign government
officials, or by U.S. nationals in the employ of international
organizations, SA-1 shall ensure, through appropriate
intergovernmental liaison channels, that information pertinent to
the assessment is obtained.
(e) Whenever a compromise of Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI)
has occurred, IN-1 shall consult with the designated representative
of the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) and other appropriate
officials with responsibility for the information involved.
d. Notification to Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO). On receiving
written confirmation from a Departmental Element of an unauthorized
disclosure of, or access to, NSI by a DOE employee, DOE contractor, or
consultant, SA-10 shall notify the IS00 of the details of such a
disclosure. Such notification shall be given immediately when the
DOE 5639.1 21
10-19-92
14.
disclosure results from systematic problems. Otherwise, semi
of unauthorized disclosures shall be made.
e. Records Retention. Records of all actions pertaining to unac
for/compromised matter or compromises of information must be
annual reports
counted-
maintained by
the facility and the cognizant Departmental Element safeguards and security
organization or officer. In accordance with DOE 1324.2A, RECORDS
DISPOSITION, of 9-13-88, records shall be destroyed 5 years after the close
of all associated actions. These records will not be sent to Federal
Records Centers.
SECURITY INFRACTIONS. An infraction is an act or omission involving failure to
comply with Departmental safeguards and security Orders.
a. Examples of Infractions. The following actions represent instances wherein
a “Report of Security Infraction” may be issued. The list is not all-
inclusive. If it is determined that any of these actions were intentional

b. Report of Security Infraction. DOE F 5630.13, “Report of Security
Infraction” or a form similar in content shall be used to document security
infractions and a copy of the report kept in the employee’s official DOE
personnel security file. An example of DOE F 5630.13 is shown as
Attachment 4. With each occurrence security practices or procedures shall
be reviewed and revised if necessary to preclude recurrence.
c. Records of Security Infractions. The responsible safeguards and security
organization or officer reporting the security infraction and the cognizant
Departmental Element shall maintain records of each infraction, which shall
include all pertinent facts associated with the infraction.
(1) For DOE employees, the 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 in
connection with a DOE employee shall be taken in accordance with DOE
personnel policies and procedures (see DOE 3750.1, WORK FORCE
DISCIPLINE, of 3-23-83).
(2) For contractors and other persons under their jurisdiction, the
disciplinary or corrective action shall be determined by appropriate
management officials in accordance with the contractors’ personnel
policies and procedures.
(3) For military personnel and employees of other Government agencies
assigned to DOE or DOE contractors, DOE or its contractors shall take
corrective action and submit a report of infractions to the military
organization or Government agency to which the employee is permanently
assigned for whatever disciplinary action that the cognizant agency or
organization deems necessary.

classified matter during emergencies. The procedures shall be as simple and
practical as possible and should be adaptable to meet most emergencies that may
arise.
SELF-ASSESSMENTS. Self assessments will be addressed by the overall self-
assessment program. Organizations shall establish a self-assessment program
for the purpose of evaluating all information security procedures applicable to
the facility’s operations. Organizations shall review their security programs
