5. A Security Classification Guide (SCG) is prepared by the U.S. Government’s designated Original Classification Authority (OCA) for the subject matter and ‒Should be identified in the DD Form 254 ‒Identifies what information or material is classified ‒Identifies the level of classification of the information ‒Identifies downgrading, declassification or exemption instructions ‒All program personnel are obligated to read their program classification guidance to know what is classified about the program they work on If you believe information has been over classified, contact the Security Department Security Classification System Overview Classification Guides

6. Security Classification System Overview Original and Derivative Classification Executive Order 13526 and its predecessors establishes a formal system for classification, declassification and safeguarding of U.S. classified information Original Classification Authority (OCA) - U.S. Government only – All classified material is the property of the U.S. Government and it determines what is classified and at what level Derivative classification ‒Utilized by contractors who incorporate, paraphrase, restate, or newly generate classified information from existing classified material by using the following for derivative classification guidance  Source Document  Security Classification Guide (SCG)  Contract Security Classification Specifications (DD Form 254) – Derivative classifiers  Are responsible for the protection and integrity of classified information  Must possess expertise regarding the subject matter of the classified information, as well as classification management and marking techniques  Must obtain classification training prior to derivatively classifying and receive biennial training thereafter

7. Security Classification System Overview Special Access Categories Special access information requires additional access restrictions and/or handling Classification markings are used in conjunction with any of the following caveats: ‒North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) information ‒Foreign Government Information (FGI) ‒Intelligence Information (NOFORN, ORCON, PROPIN, REL TO (country name)) ‒Critical Nuclear Weapons Design Information (CNWDI) ‒Restricted Data (RD) ‒Formerly Restricted Data (FRD) ‒Communications Security (COMSEC) and CRYPTO
