DERIVATIVE CLASSIFICATION
Section 1
Policy and General Requirements
3-100 The Nature of the Process
Derivative classification is the process of determining whether information that is to be included in a document or material has been classified and, if it has, ensuring that it is identified as classified information by marking or similar means. Information is derivatively classified whenever it is extracted, paraphrased, restated, or generated in a new form. Application of classification markings to a document or other material as directed by a security classification guide or other source material is derivative classification. Simply photocopying or otherwise mechanically reproducing classified material is not derivative classification.
3-101 Authority and Responsibility
Within the Department of Defense, all cleared personnel who generate or create material that should be derivatively classified are responsible for ensuring that the derivative classification is accomplished in accordance with this chapter. No specific delegation of authority is required by persons doing derivative classification. DoD officials who sign or approve derivatively classified documents have principal responsibility for the quality of their derivative classification.
3-102 Policy
All persons performing derivative classification shall:
a. Observe and respect the classification determinations made by original classification authorities. If they believe information to be improperly classified, they will take action as required by subsection 4-900 of this Regulation, below. b. Apply markings or other means of identification to the derivatively classified material as required by Chapter 5 of this Regulation. c. Use only authorized sources of instructions about the classification of the information in question. Authorized sources of instructions about classification are security classification guides, other forms of classification guidance, and markings on material from which the information is extracted. The use of only memory or "general rules" about the classification of broad classes of information is prohibited. d. Use caution when paraphrasing or restating information extracted from a classified source document to determine whether the classification may have been changed in the process. e. Take appropriate and reasonable steps to resolve doubts or apparent conflicts about the classification, level of classification, and duration of classification of information. These steps may include consulting a security classification guide or referral to the organization responsible for the original classification. In cases of apparent conflict between a security classification guide and a classified source document about a discrete item of information, the instructions in the security classification guide shall take precedence.
Section 2
Procedures
3-200 General
a. Derivative classifiers must carefully analyze the material they are classifying to determine what information it contains or reveals and evaluate that information against the instructions provided by the classification guidance or the markings on source documents.
b. Drafters of documents that must be derivatively classified should be encouraged to portion mark their drafts and keep records of the sources they use, to facilitate derivative classification of the finished product.
c. Declassification instructions for derivatively classified documents shall not be automatically copied from source documents. They must be determined as required by Chapter 4, and applied in accordance with Chapter 5 of this Regulation.
d. When material is derivatively classified based on "multiple sources" [more than one security classification guide, classified source document, or combination thereof], the derivative classifier must compile a list of the sources used. A copy of this list must be included in or attached to the file or record copy of the document.
3-201 Special Cases
a. If information is extracted from a document or section of a document classified by compilation, the derivative classifier will consult the explanation on the source document to determine the appropriate classification. If that does not provide enough guidance, the originator of the source document should be contacted for assistance.
b. If the derivative classifier has reason to believe the classification applied to information is inappropriate, the classifier of the source document shall be contacted to resolve the issue. The information will continue to be classified as specified in the source document until the matter is resolved.
c. If the activity originating the classified information no longer exists, the activity that inherited the functions of the originating activity is responsible for determining the action to be taken with respect to declassification. If the functions of the originating activity were dispersed to more than one other activity, the inheriting activity[ies] cannot be determined or, the functions have ceased to exist, the senior agency official of
the DoD Component of which the originating activity was a part, is responsible for determining the action to be taken with respect to classification.
DoD Manual 5200.01, Volumes 1-4, the Information Security Program, provides basic guidance and regulatory requirements for derivative classification for DoD personnel.
Who can perform derivative classification?
government officials
Only government officials may perform
derivative classification. Statement 3 of 4. Consulting your FSO or security manager is always the first step in the derivative classification process.
What is the DoD security classification guide?
A security classification guide is a record of original classification decisions that can be used as a source document when creating derivatively classified documents. OCAs are encouraged to publish security classification guides to facilitate a standardized and efficient classification management program.
What is derivative classification?
”Derivative classification” means the incorporating, paraphrasing, restating, or generating in new form information that is already classified, and marking the newly developed material consistent with the classification markings that apply to the source information.
What are derivative classifiers required to have?
Derivative classifiers must have original classification authority. The source document states: Derivative classification includes all of the following EXCEPT: Duplicating or reproducing existing classified information, such as photocopying a document.
Are steps in derivative classification except?
All of the following are steps in derivative classification EXCEPT: Making the initial determination that information requires protection against unauthorized disclosure in the interest of national security. Which of the following statements applies to the classification concept of “Revealed by”?
What is the first step in derivative classification?
The first step in derivatively classifying a new document is to determine the classification level based on existing classification guidance. Security Classification Guides [SCG] are the primary sources for derivative classification.
What information does a security classification guide provide a derivative classifier?
Derivative classifiers use the information from an SCG to identify specific items or elements of information to be protected, the specific classification assigned to each item or element of information, concise reason for classifying each item, element, or category of information outlined in E.O.
How do you take derivative classification certificates?
You must receive a passing score [75%] in order to receive a certificate for this course. You must print or save a local copy of the certificate as proof of course completion. CDSE does not maintain records of course completions.
What are responsibilities of derivative classifiers?
Derivative classifiers are responsible for maintaining the protection and integrity of classified information. These individuals must possess expertise regarding the subject matter of the classified information, as well as classification management and marking techniques.
Which of the following are steps in derivative classification except?
All of the following are steps in derivative classification EXCEPT: Making the initial determination that information requires protection against unauthorized disclosure in the interest of national security. Which of the following statements applies to the classification concept of “Revealed by”?
What are the primary sources for derivative classification?
What are the regulations for derivative classification in the DoD?
The document that provides basic guidance and regulatory requirements for derivative classification for DoD personnel is: DoDM 5200.01, DoD Information Security Program
When do you need to seek guidance on derivative classification?
If the classification in the existing content seems incorrect, or there is conflicting guidance from authorized sources, you are required to seek further guidance.
What happens if you challenge a derivative classification?
You may be subject to administrative, Uniform Code of Military Justice [UCMJ], or criminal sanctions if you engage in any of the following EXCEPT: Submitting a formal challenge to information that may be improperly classified The document that provides basic guidance and regulatory requirements for derivative classification for DoD personnel is:
How is derivative classification different from original classification?
Derivative classifiers must: Derivative classification does not have the same impact and effects as original classification. A classified document is used as source material for a new document. What is this an example of?
