DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 63 ENCLOSURE 4 ENCLOSURE 4 MARKING STANDARD 1. OVERVIEW. T he marking standard specified by this enclosure further defines, but does not change, the markings requirements established in References (d) and (f) for overall classification and portion markings. This marking system provides specific formatting and precedence guidance to facilitate electronic processing of classified information. The hierarchy and order of markings, the specific markings that fall within each category, and the formatting structure are shown in Figure 25. Sections 2 through 11 discuss authorized markings and provide examples of usage. a. M arkings must appear in the order listed in Figure 25. This enclosure and Appendixes 2 and 3 to this enclosure discuss each marking individually. b. T he required marking syntax for classified U.S. documents is: CLASSIFICATION//SCI//SAP//AEA//FGI//DISSEM//OTHER DISSEM. (1) A double forward slash (//) shall be used to separate marking categories; a single forward slash (/) shall be used to separate multiple types within the same marking category, e.g., CLASSIFICATION//SCI/SCI//DISSEM/DISSEM. Hyphens (-) without interjected spaces shall be used to separate a control system from its sub-control (or compartment), e.g., SI-G or RD-N. (2) The classification level in the banner line must be in English and spelled out completely. Other required control markings (e.g., SCI, SAP, or dissemination control markings) included in the banner line may be spelled out or abbreviated using the authorized abbreviation noted in the discussion of the specific marking. ( 3) Control markings (e.g., SCI, SAP, AEA, or dissemination), where applicable, are required in both the banner line and portion markings. Markings that indicate the presence of FGI or Atomic Energy Act (AEA) information are also carried in both locations. Double forward slashes (//) will separate both the classification level from the control markings, and the different categories of control markings from each other. ( 4) Dissemination markings are used to identify the expansion or limitation on the distribution of information. These markings are in addition to and separate from the level of classification, and the SCI, SAP, AEA, and FGI categories. (a) M ultiple entries may be chosen from the dissemination control categories if applicable. If multiple entries are used, they are listed in the order in which they appear in Figure 25. (b ) In classified documents that contain dissemination control markings, the unclassified portions that do not require any control markings will be marked with (U).

N ote that the syntax for marking documents consisting solely of FGI and for jointly- produced documents is different than that for classified U.S. documents. Both begin with “//,” without a preceding classification. The syntax is: (1 ) For classified non -U.S. documents: //[country code] [non-U.S. classification]. (2 ) For classified joint documents: //JOINT [classification] [country codes]. d. U.S. classification markings, non-U.S. classification markings, and JOINT classification markings are mutually exclusive. They may not be used at the same time in a banner line or a portion mark. e. T he term “country code” when used in the description of banner line and portion marking requirements refers to both trigraphic country codes and tetragraph codes for international organizations and coalitions. 2. USE OF THE MARKING “N OT RELEASABLE TO FOREIGN NATIONALS” (NOFORN) a. T he dissemination marking “NOFORN” is an intelligence control marking used to identify intelligence which an originator has determined meets the criteria of Reference (m) and which may not be provided in any form to foreign governments (including coalition partners), international organizations, foreign nationals, or immigrant aliens without the originator’s approval. b. Within DoD, NOFORN is authorized for use ONLY on intelligence and intelligence- related information and products under the purview of the DNI, in accordance with DNI policy, with three exceptions. The exceptions are Naval Nuclear Propulsion Information (NNPI), the National Disclosure Policy Document (also known and hereafter referred to as “NDP-1” (Reference (x))), and cover and cover support information in accordance with DoDI S-5105.63 (Reference (y)), each of which may be marked “NOFORN.” Other than these three exceptions, there is no authorized DoD use for the NOFORN caveat on non-intelligence information. Further guidance on the proper use of the NOFORN caveat on intelligence information may be found in Appendix 2 to this enclosure. c. D oD Components must ensure personnel are trained on proper application of the NOFORN caveat to ensure it is not applied to non-intelligence information and to facilitate intelligence sharing. d. A lthough not authorized for use on DoD information, other U.S. Government uses of the NOFORN caveat exist; section 4 of Appendix 3 to this enclosure provides information on one such usage. e. Consistent with Reference (m), NOFORN may be applied, when warranted, to unclassified intelligence information that has been determined to be properly categorized as CUI.

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 66 ENCLOSURE 4 f. Except for the instances identified in this volume, NOFORN may not be applied to any other DoD information. Whenever such use is detected, classification challenges are encouraged in accordance with the procedures in paragraph 22, Enclosure 4, of Volume 1 of this Manual. The DoD Component’s chain of command will require the proper limited use of the NOFORN dissemination control marking. g. All existing requirements for a positive foreign disclosure decision before release to a foreign government apply, in accordance with DoDDs 5230.11 and 5230.20 (References (z) and (aa)). 3. U. S. CLASSIFICATION MARKINGS a. Aut horized U.S. classification designators are: (1) TOP SECRET (TS) (2) SECRET (S) (3) CONFIDENTIAL (C) b. U.S. classification markings are not preceded by the double slash (//) or abbreviated in the banner line (see Figure 26). (A double slash with nothing preceding it indicates that the document contains only FGI or JOINT information as described in sections 4 and 5 of this enclosure.) Figure 26.

T his section provides guidance for marking documents consisting ENTIRELY of FGI. See section 19 of Enclosure 3 of this Volume for general guidance on marking FGI, Section 5 for marking Joint documents, and section 9 of this enclosure for markings to be used on U.S. documents containing FGI portions. (1) All classification markings on FGI (banner and portion) shall begin with a double forward slash, “//.” The required format is: //[country code] [equivalent classification] (see Figure 27). F igure 27. Example of Markings for Non-U.S. Documents UNCLASSIFIED – CLASSIFICATION MARKINGS FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY //DEU SECRET (//DEU S) This is the marking for a portion which is classified German SECRET. This portion is marked for training purposes only. Use approved country or international organization codes. (//DEU U) Note: When release markings are not specified, it cannot be assumed that the information is releasable back to the source country. (//DEU U) Note: All non-US classified material is excluded from E.O. 13526 marking requirements. Therefore, non-US classified material does not carry a classification authority block. The DoD Component Designated Disclosure Authority shall make release determinations pursuant to DoD Directive 5230.11. //DEU SECRET (2 ) The authorized equivalent classifications are: (a) TOP SECRET (TS) (b) SECRET (S) (c) CONFIDENTIAL (C) (d) RESTRICTED (R) (e) UNCLASSIFIED (U) (3) Equivalent foreign government classification markings should be used in conjunction with the requirements of this section to determine the appropriate marking in subparagraph 4.a.(2). Questions regarding the equivalent foreign government markings should be directed to
p. 68
DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 68 ENCLOSURE 4 t he Director, International Security Programs, Defense Technology Security Administration, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy. (4) F GI classifications shall not be annotated in the banner line with U.S. classification markings or JOINT classification markings. These three marking categories are mutually exclusive in the banner lines and portion marks. ( 5) No classification authority block shall be used as all non-U.S. information is excluded from the marking requirements of Reference (d). ( 6) The DoD Component Designated Disclosure Authority shall make disclosure determinations pursuant to DoDD 5230.11 (Reference (aa)). b. NATO Classification Markings. NATO information bears unique classification markings which signify that the information is protected in the NATO security system. ( 1) NATO classifications are used on NATO information (i.e., information prepared by or for NATO and information of the NATO member nations that has been released into the NATO security system). Within the DoD, access to and marking and handling of NATO information is governed by USSAN Instruction 1-07 (Reference (ab)) and DoDD 5100.55 (Reference (ac)). ( 2) Documents consisting entirely of NATO information shall have a banner line and portion markings consisting only of NATO markings (see Figure 28). NATO classified information does not carry a classification authority block. ( a) COSMIC is the N ATO designation for TOP SECRET information whose unauthorized disclosure would cause exceptionally grave damage to NATO. Although the word “NATO” is used in the designation NATO SECRET, CONFIDENTIAL, and RESTRICTED information, the word “NATO” is never used with NATO information classified at the TOP SECRET level. ( b) The ATOMAL designation is used with U.S. RD or FRD, or UK ATOMIC information that has been officially released to NATO. ( c) The BOHEMIA designation is used for NATO TOP SECRET infor mation that is signals intelligence (SIGINT) derived and should be handled in SIGINT channels only. BOHEMIA may be used only with //COSMIC TOP SECRET. ( 3) NATO banner markings may be used only on NATO information. NOFORN cannot be used on NATO information. ( 4) When NATO information is incorporated into a U.S. document, the portion marking will be a NATO marking; however, the banner line will use the highest classification of information in the document (i.e., classification of the U.S. information or the U.S.-equivalent classification for the NATO information, whichever is higher) with the addition of “//FGI NATO” (e.g., SECRET//FGI NATO). The statement “THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS NATO

See Section 9 of this enclosure for guidance on use of FGI markings in U.S. documents. Figure 28. Examples of NATO Markings UNCLASSIFIED – CLASSIFICATION MARKINGS FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY NATO Banner Line NATO Portion Marking / /COSMIC TOP SECRET (//CTS) //COSMIC TOP SECRET BOHEMIA (//CTS-B) //NATO SECRET (//NS) //NATO CONFIDENTIAL (//NC) //NATO RESTRICTED (//NR) //NATO UNCLASSIFIED (//NU) //COSMIC TOP SECRET ATOMAL (//CTS-A) //SECRET ATOMAL (//NS-A) //CONFIDENTIAL ATOMAL (//NC-A) COSMIC is applied to TOP SECRET material that belongs to NATO. BOHEMIA is used only with NATO TOP SECRET information that is SIGINT derived. ATOMAL applies to U.S. Restricted Data or Formerly Restricted Data, or UK ATOMIC information, that has been officially released to NATO
c. Documents Marked RESTRICTED or That are Provided “in Confidence.” Many foreign governments and international organizations have a fourth level of classification that generally translates as “Restricted,” and a category of unclassified information that is protected by law in the originating country and is provided on the condition that it shall be treated “in confidence.” (1) Mark foreign government documents that have a classification designation which equates to RESTRICTED, as well as unclassified foreign government documents provided on the condition that they shall be treated “in confidence,” to identify the originating government and whether they are Restricted or provided “in confidence” (see Figure 29). (2) Additionally, mark them “CONFIDENTIAL – Modified Handling” and protect them according to Volume 3, Enclosure 2, section 17 of this Manual.

CONFIDENTIAL-Modified Handling Example UNCLASSIFIED – CLASSIFICATION MARKINGS FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY A French document marked “Diffusion Restreinte” would be marked: //FRA RESTRICTED Protect as CONFIDENTIAL – Modified Handling 5. JOINT CLASSIFICATION MARKINGS a. Joint classification markings are used on information owned or produced by more than one country/international organization, or on jointly owned information developed or generated in the performance of the program to which the U.S. DoD had Joint Production /Reutilization Rights(i.e., foreground information). b. The JOINT marking in the banner line or portion mark indicates co -ownership and implied releasability of the entire document or entire portion, as appropriate, ONLY to the originators’ respective countries, unless more restrictive controls are explicitly imposed by the originators. Further disclosure or release of JOINT information to countries other than those of the originators requires the approval of all co-owners. c. All JOINT classification markings (banner and portion) begin with a double forward slash, “//” followed by the word JOINT (i.e., “//JOINT”) d. The required format for classification banner markings is: //JOINT [classification] [country codes]. If the United States is NOT one of the co-owners, the classification may be RESTRICTED in accordance with authorized FGI classification markings (see paragraph 4.a.(2) of this enclosure). Where the United States is a co-owner, RESTRICTED may NOT be used. e. Country codes, including USA, are listed in the banner line in alphabetical order followed by international organization codes in alphabetical order. This placement of “USA” is unique to the JOINT marking and should not be confused with the placement required by the REL TO marking. Codes are separated by spaces. See Figures 30 and 31 for placement examples.

However, if a JOINT portion is extracted into a U.S.-produced non- JOINT document, then the country codes must be listed, in alphabetical order, in the portion markings (i.e., (//JOINT [classification] [country codes])). g. When JOINT information is extracted and used in a derivative U.S. document, the JOINT portions must be segregated (i.e., must be separate portions) from U.S. classified information. The banner line of the derivative U.S. document shall show the highest classification level of all portions, expressed as a U.S. classification marking. The JOINT marking is not carried forward to the banner line, but is used in applicable portions. Additionally, FGI markings shall be added to the banner line and shall include all non-U.S. country codes identified in the JOINT portion(s). See Figure 32 for an example of this usage. h. The classification authority block is used only when the United States is one of the co- owners. Figure 32.

SCI is classified national intelligence information concerning, or derived from, intelligence sources, methods or analytical processes that require handling within formal access control systems established by the Director of National Intelligence (DNI). Within an SCI control system, there may be compartments and sub-compartments, which are used to further
p. 73
DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 73 ENCLOSURE 4 protect and/or distinguish SCI. Users should refer to References (n) and (o) for additional guidance on SCI markings. b. The published SCI control syste ms are: (1) HCS (HUMINT Control System). (2) Special Intelligence (SI)). (3) TA LENT KEYHOLE (TK). c. Multiple SCI control system entries may be used if applicable. When multiple entries, (whether published or unpublished) are used, list them alphabetically. Use a single forward slash (/) as the separator between multiple SCI control system entries (see Figure 33). In Figure 33, “ABC” is a notional unpublished SCI control system with a notional portion marking of “ABC.” Individuals encountering information with unrecognized markings in the SCI category should contact their SSO for further guidance, as the marking may be an unpublished control system. Each example shown in Figure 33 includes an explicit foreign disclosure or release marking as required by Reference (m) for classified intelligence information under the purview of the DNI. Figure 33. Examples of SCI Control Markings UNCLASSIFIED – CLASSIFICATION MARKINGS FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY Banner Line Portion Marking TO P SECRET//HCS//NOFORN (TS//HCS//NF) SECRET//SI/TK//RELIDO (S//SI/TK//RELIDO) TOP SECRET//SI-GAMMA//ORCON/NOFORN (TS//SI-G//OC/NF) CONFIDENTIAL//SI//REL TO USA, AUS, FRA (C //SI//REL TO USA, FRA) TOP SECRET//SI-XXX//REL TO USA, AUS (TS//SI-XXX//REL) SECRET//HCS-O XYZ//NOFORN (S//HCS-O XYZ//NF) SECRET//TK-GEOCAP//NOFORN (S//TK-G//NF) SECRET//ABC//RELIDO (S//ABC/SI//RELIDO) d. Use a hyphen without interjected spaces to separate an SCI control system name and its compartment(s) when applicable, e.g., “SI-GAMMA,” or to separate multiple compartments from each other, e.g., “SI-G-XXX.” List multiple compartments alpha-numerically. In Figure 33, –GAMMA and –XXX are compartments of SI.
p. 74
DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 74 ENCLOSURE 4 e. Separate sub-compartments from their compartment, and from each other if more than one, by a space (“ ”). List multiple sub-compartments alpha-numerically. In Figure 33, “XYZ” is a sub-compartment of the HCS compartment “O.” f. When HCS or TK-GEOCAP is used, NOFORN must also be used. g. S CI, regardless of classification level, must be processed only on an information system accredited for SCI processing (e.g., JWICS) and may not be processed, transferred to, or stored on SIPRNET, even if the information’s classification is at the SECRET level (e.g., SECRET//SI), as SIPRNET is not accredited for SCI. Any transfer or processing of SCI on SIPRNET constitutes a data spillage from a higher to a lower-security information domain, in accordance with Committee on National Security Systems Policy 18 (Reference (ad)). See Volume 3, Enclosures 6 and 7 for guidance on security violations and data spills. 7. SAP CONTROL MARKINGS a. S AP control markings used in the banner line and at portions denote classified information that requires extraordinary protection in accordance with section 4.3 of Reference (d), DoDD 5205.07 (Reference (ae)), DoDI 5205.11 (Reference (af), Volume 4 of DoDM 5205.07, (Reference (ag)), and this Manual. b. S AP information shall be marked in accordance with the security classification guide developed for each program and the guidance contained herein. If questions on marking guidance arise, the guidance in the program classification guide takes precedence so long as it conforms to the content, formatting, and syntax requirements of Reference (ag) and this Volume. The markings discussed here are not all inclusive, yet, they reflect the basic marking requirements for DoD SAP material. c. T he level of classification (e.g., Top Secret), the caveat “Special Access Required” or its acronym “SAR,” and the program nickname (e.g., BUTTER POPCORN) or code word (e.g., DAGGER) and the dissemination control (if assigned) will be annotated on the banner line at the head and foot of each document page or media containing SAP information. Assigned program identifiers (PIDs) (e.g., BP and RZD) will not be used in the banner line. A hyphen (-) without interjected spaces shall be used to separate “SAR” and the program’s nickname or code word. A slash (“/”) shall be used to separate nicknames or code words if more than one is required (see paragraph 7.e. of this section when citing three or more programs. d . Each paragraph shall be portion marked with the level of classification, SAR, and the program’s assigned PID (e.g., TS//SAR-BP). Use a hyphen without interjected spaces to separate the “SAR” caveat and PID. List the PIDs alphabetically, separated by a slash, when there are multiple PIDs. e. W hen information from three or more SAPs is included in a single document, indicate “MULTIPLE PROGRAMS” after SAR in the banner line (e.g., SECRET//SAR-MULTIPLE PROGRAMS). The term “Multiple Sources” is placed as the derivative classification instruction

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 75 ENCLOSURE 4 o n the first page and these multiple sources are listed at the end of the document. When there are mul tiple programs, the PID for each SAP must be cited in the portion marking, regardless of the total number of PIDs. Multiple PIDs must be listed in alphabetical order, separated from one another by a single forward slash (/), the SAR caveat, and PID. See Figure 34. f. SAPs specifically exempted from normal Congressional reporting requirements by the Secretary of Defense shall also be marked “WAIVED” in the banner line, portion marks, and prominently on media (e.g., TOP SECRET//SAR-BP//WAIVED). In such cases, “WAIVED” is used as a dissemination control marking. Figure 34.

HVSACO is applied to non-SAP material (unclassified or classified) that exists within a SAP environment and due to its subject or content warrants handling only within SAP channels, amongst SAP cleared personnel. Marking guidance for HVSACO material is conveyed in program classification guides.

The classification level, the caveat “Special Access Required,” and the program nickname will be noted on all document cover sheets. Annotating program code words on document cover sheets is prohibited. i. SAP information, regardless of classification, shall be processed only on an information system accredited for SAP processing, and operating at a classification level that meets or exceeds the classification level of the SAP data. j. DoD SAPs have been granted a file series exemption (FSE). This decision states tha t documents containing DoD SAP information are exempt from automatic declassification at 25 years and will, instead, be reviewed for declassification prior to December 31 st of the year that is 50 years from the date of origin of the document. Accordingly, in addition to the other required information in the classification authority block, the DoD SAP community shall reflect this declassification guidance as shown at Figure 35 on all SAP documents.

DoDI 5210.83 (Reference (ak)) provides guidance on policies and procedures governing access to and dissemination of DoD unclassified controlled nuclear information (DoD UCNI). a. RD (1) RD includes all data concerning the design, manufacture, or utilization of nuclear weapons; the production of special nuclear material (SNM); or the use of SNM for production of energy. SNM includes plutonium, uranium-233, and uranium enriched in isotope 235. (2 ) All RD information is excluded from the requirements of Reference (d). Section 6.2 of Reference (d) specifically excludes RD and FRD from the provisions of the Executive Order, stating such information shall be handled, protected, classified, downgraded, and declassified as required by provisions of The Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended and regulations issued under that Act. Automatic declassification of RD is prohibited. (3 ) DOE manages government-wide RD classification and declassification systems. (a) Only DOE may originally classify or declassify RD. (b) Within the DoD, individuals with access to RD may derivatively classify RD. (c) T o the maximum extent practical, all RD documents shall be classified based on joint DOE-DoD classification guides. When use of classification guides is not practical, source documents may be used as the basis for classification. (4 ) The RD marking shall be used only with TOP SECRET, SECRET, or CONFIDENTIAL. (5) Use [classification]//RESTRICTED DATA (or RD) for the banner line. The portion marking is ([classification]//RD). If any portion of the document contains RD information, RD must appear in the banner line. (6) RD documents shall be marked with the identity of the derivative classifier (“Classified By:”) and shall include a “Derived From:” line which shall identify the guide(s) or source document(s), by title and date, used to classify the document. (7 ) RD is not subject to automatic declassification. Therefore, a declassification instruction is never annotated on documents containing solely RD information. The “Declassify On:” line shall state “Not applicable” or may be deleted. (See paragraph 8.a.(10) of this section if a document contains both RD and NSI.) (8) Although documents originated in other agencies and containing RD information may not be portion marked, DoD-originated documents containing RD information require portion marking.

FGI MARKINGS USED IN U.S. DOCUMENTS a. FGI markings are used in U.S. products to denote the presence of foreign-controlled information. These markings are used based on treaties, sharing agreements or arrangements with the source country or international organization and are necessary to provide a degree of protection at least equivalent to that required by the foreign government or international organization that furnished the information, and to prevent premature declassification or unauthorized disclosure. (See section 4 of this enclosure for markings to be used on documents that consist entirely of FGI.) b. As damage to the national security is the criteria for classification, FGI requiring protection from disclosure must automatically be classified at a level no less than CONFIDENTIAL, unless otherwise noted in security agreements between the security authorities of the United States and the applicable foreign government. c. Use FGI markings when FGI is included in a U.S.-controlled document (see Figures 41 through 44). d. Except as provided in paragraph 9.e. of this section , use “FGI” with the trigraphic country codes and international organization tetragraphs in the banner line; portion markings for included FGI shall be as specified in section 4 of this enclosure. If multiple governments and/or

In both cases the identity of the foreign government shall be maintained with the record copy, which must be appropriately protected. f. In documents containing FGI, the FGI portion(s) shall remain segregated from the U.S. portions. g. In documents containing FGI from more than one country and/or international organization, the FGI from each individual country or international organization shall remain segregated in separate portions. h. R elease or disclosure of FGI back to the source country is implied, unless otherwise indicated. i. The release or disclosure of FGI to any third-country entity, including foreign nationals who are protected individuals or permanent resident aliens, or to any third party, or use for other than the purpose for which the foreign government provided the information requires the prior written consent of the originating government when required by treaty, agreement, bilateral exchange, or other obligation. Questions regarding releasability or disclosure should be directed to the U.S. originator, who will consult with the foreign government as required. j. When FGI is included in a U.S. document, the overall U.S. classification used shall reflect the highest classification of any information, including the FGI, in the document. k. FGI and NOFORN in the banner line signals that the document may not be disseminated to any foreign country without the permission of the U.S. originator and the source country providing the FGI. Releasability of individual portions shall be in accordance with their markings. Questions regarding releasability or disclosure should be directed to the U.S. originator, who will consult with the foreign government as required. l. R EL TO cannot be used in the overall classification of a document containing FGI portions unless the entire document is releasable to all countries listed. When both NOFORN and REL TO information are included in the same document, NOFORN takes precedence over REL TO. m. Portion marks for portions containing FGI may not include “NOFORN.” NOFORN is a U.S. marking and is not applicable to portions containing only FGI. Release limitations, per paragraph 9.i of this section, are implied by the FGI designation. n. Unclassified FGI is withheld from public release until approved for release by the source country. o. The “Derived From:” line or source list shall identify U.S. as well as foreign classification sources. If the identity of the foreign government (but not the fact of FGI content) must be concealed and citation of the source would reveal that identity, the “Derived From:” line or source list shall contain the notation, “FGI source” and, where possible, the date of the

The originator shall maintain the full source citation and the identity of the foreign government with the record copy and protect it as Volume 3, Enclosure 2 of this Manual requires. p. A U.S. document marked as described herein shall not be downgraded below the highest level of FGI contained in the document or be declassified without the written approval of the foreign government that originated the information. Submit recommendations concerning downgrading or declassification to the DoD organization that created the document. If that organization supports the recommendation, it shall consult with the originating foreign government to determine whether that government consents to declassification. (See also Volume 1, Enclosure 5, section 20 of this Manual.) 10. DISSEMINATION CONTROL MARKINGS a. Dissemination Control Markings for Intelligence Information. Certain dissemination control markings are authorized for use only on intelligence information. Among these are “NOFORN” (with exceptions for NNPI and NDP-1), cover and cover support information in accordance with Reference (y), “RELIDO,” and “IMCON.” As provided in paragraph 1.d of Enclosure 2 of this Volume, DoD Intelligence Components shall refer to policy and implementing guidance issued by the DNI for guidance on marking intelligence and intelligence- related information and products under the purview of the DNI. Information on intelligence control markings is contained in Appendix 2 to this enclosure to assist other DoD activities that may encounter such markings in understanding their meaning and use. b. FOUO ( 1) Within the DoD, FOUO is a control marking for unclassified information that may be withheld from the public if disclosure would reasonably be expected to cause a foreseeable harm to an interest protected under the Freedom of Information Act. The use of FOUO markings shall remain in effect until the revised Volume 4 of this Manual is published. ( 2) FOUO is also used by other agencies to protect certain types of unclassified information. FOUO from other agencies is treated the same as DoD FOUO information. ( 3) FOUO portions within a classified document shall be marked (U//FOUO); however, FOUO shall not appear in the overall classification banner because the classification adequately protects the unclassified information, except when page markings are used to reflect the classification of information on that page instead of the overall document classification (see Figure 47). In that case, the banner line for unclassified pages with FOUO information shall be: UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY or UNCLASSIFIED//FOUO.

SECRET Classified by: Frank Brown, Senior Analyst Derived From: Memorandum XYZ, Dated 20071215 Declassify On: 20171231 b. C ontrolled Unclassified Information (CUI) (1) Within the DoD, CUI is a control marking for unclassified information the Government creates or possesses (or that an entity creates or possesses for or on behalf of the Government) that a law, regulation or Government-wide policy requires or permits an agency t handle using safeguarding or dissemination controls in accordance with Volume 4 of this Manual. (2) Consult Volume 4 of this Manual for guidance on markings required for unclassifie documents containing CUI and the exemption notice required on documents containing CUI distributed outside the DoD. (3) Consistent with Reference (m), REL TO and RELIDO may be applied, when warranted, to unclassified intelligence or other information that has been determined to be properly categorized as CUI. c. Dissemination and Extraction of Originator Controlled (ORCON) Information (1) The ORIGINATOR CONTROLLED or ORCON marking is used when dissemination and extraction of information must be controlled by the originator. (a) ORCON may be used by the DoD Components to mark information that require the originator’s consent for further dissemination or extraction of information when the classification level and other controls alone are insufficient to control dissemination. ORCON i to be applied sparingly as its use impedes efficient information sharing. The decision to apply the ORCON marking shall be made on a case-by-case basis using a risk management approach; it may not be applied in a general or arbitrary manner. (b) ORCON is authorized for use by the DoD Components that are elements of the IC for classified intelligence that clearly identifies or reasonably permits ready identification of intelligence sources or methods that are particularly susceptible to countermeasures that would negate or measurably reduce their effectiveness. ORCON may be used with national o d s

(2) Information bearing the ORCON marking may be disseminated within the recipient agency and its subordinate elements, including to contractors located within government facilities, without further approvals consistent with any other dissemination control markings. Such information may also be incorporated in whole or in part into briefings or other products, provided the briefing or product is presented or distributed only to original recipients of the information. Dissemination beyond the recipient agency or to agencies other than the original recipients requires advance permission from the originator. For purposes of this section, DoD is considered one agency except with respect to information disseminated by IC elements in accordance with DNI guidelines. This information may only be further disseminated by recipient DoD components to the organizations identified in the originators dissemination/distribution list. (3) ORCON may be used with TOP SECRET, SECRET, or CONFIDENTIAL. (4) Use [classification]//ORCON for the banner line. The portion marking for ORCON is ([classification]//OC) (see Figure 45). If any portion is ORCON, ORCON must appear in the banner line. (5) The originator shall include a point of contact who can make ORCON release determinations on all information marked ORCON. Include, at a minimum, name or position title of the contact and a current telephone number. (6) The originator shall promptly review all requests for further dissemination of ORCON information. A determination shall be provided to the requestor, normally within 3 days of receipt of the request, but not more than 7 days, unless justification for a longer time is provided to the recipient within 7 days. Release determinations shall be formally documented; documentation shall include the request justification and identification of recipients. Where requests have been denied, the documentation shall include justification for the denial which articulates the risks of further dissemination and why those risks outweigh the need to share.

Authorized For Release To (REL TO) (1) Within the DoD, the AUTHORIZED FOR RELEASE TO or REL TO control marking is authorized for use on all classified military or Defense CUI information that has been determined by an authorized disclosure official, in accordance with established foreign disclosure policies, to be releasable, or that has been released through established foreign disclosure procedures and channels, to the foreign country and/or international organization indicated. Figures 46 through 48 provide examples of the use of the REL TO marking. (2) Foreign release or disclosure of the material, in any form, to the nations specified in the REL TO marking is authorized without originator approval. Disclosure to nations not specified in the REL TO marking is authorized only after obtaining permission from the originator. (3) REL TO shall be used with TOP SECRET, SECRET, CONFIDENTIAL , or CUI. (4) The format for RE L TO banner and portion markings is [classification]//REL TO [country codes]. Trigraphic country codes shall be listed first (USA first, followed by other countries in alphabetical order), followed by coalition or international organization tetragraph codes in alphabetical order. Each code shall be separated from the next by a comma and space. Figure 47.

TOP SECRET//REL TO USA, EGY, ISR Classified By: Jane Jones, Pgm Mgr Derived From: Memorandum XYZ, Dated 20071215 Declassify On: 20171231 (5) “USA” attached to “REL TO” means that the information is U.S.-originated and may be released to U.S. citizens who meet the standards for access to classified information and the restrictions imposed by any other caveats and who have a need to know. “REL TO USA” without any other countries listed is not an approved marking. (6) The portion marking “REL” may be used when the countries to which the portion- marked information is releasable are the same as the countries listed in the REL TO in the banner line. If countries are different, the portion marking must list all countries that are applicable. (7) REL TO shall not be used with NOFORN in the banner line. When a document contains both NOFORN and REL TO portions, use NOFORN in the banner line.

Otherwise, information not authorized for release may be inadvertently released. Users should additionally note that there is differing guidance between the DoD and the IC on the overall classification of a classified document containing both REL TO information and information without either REL TO, RELIDO or NOFORN markings (hereinafter referred to as “uncaveated information”) and on the treatment of documents where there is no common country listed throughout the REL TO portions. (a) Within the DoD, except for national intelligence information under the control of the Defense Intelligence Components, if a document contains portions with REL TO markings and portions with uncaveated information, the banner line shall contain only the U.S. classification (e.g., SECRET). Additionally, for documents containing REL TO portions, if the document is not fully releasable to at least one country other than USA (i.e., there is no common country listed throughout the document’s portions), the banner line shall reflect, in addition to any other required caveats, simply the U.S. classification (i.e., the banner line shall not contain the REL TO marking). This marking standard shall be applied by the Defense Intelligence Components when the information is military intelligence. Figure 48.

(S) T his is the marking for a portion that is classified SECRET. Without a positive release marking, it is not releasable to the countries and organizations listed in the abov e par agraph. Thus, the banner line will reflect the U.S. classification only. (Note the IC handles this situation differently; see text for discussion.) SECRET Classified By: Jane Jones, Pgm Mgr Derived From: Memorandum XYZ, Dated 20071215 Declassify On: 20171215 ( b) Reference (m) requires intelligence under the purview of the DNI to be explicitly marked for foreign release. A combination of REL TO and uncaveated national intelligence information (i.e., information under the purview of the DNI) is to be marked as NOFORN in the banner line (e.g., SECRET//NOFORN). Likewise, where there is no common country listed in the REL TO portions, NOFORN is to be applied in the banner line. As NOFORN may be used only on intelligence information, this IC practice is not permitted for DoD organizations that are not elements of the IC. e. Display Only (1) This dissemination control identifies classified information authorized for disclosure WITHOUT PROVIDING THE RECIPIENT A COPY FOR RETENTION, regardless of medium, through established foreign disclosure channels to the foreign country and/or international organization indicated. In accordance with ICPG 710.1 (Reference (ao)), disclosure is showing or revealing classified information, whether orally, in writing or via any other medium, without providing the recipient with a copy of the information for retention. (2) Display Only information must remain under U.S. control at all times. (3) The marking may be used with TOP SECRET, SECRET or CONFIDENTIAL. (4) DISPLAY ONLY may not be used with RELIDO or NOFORN. Additionally, DISPLAY ONLY shall NOT be used with other dissemination control markings (e.g., REL TO) in either the portion or banner line, unless authorized by other policy guidance and established sharing arrangements and procedures. (5) The format for Display Only banner and portion markings is [classification]//DISPLAY ONLY [country codes] (see Figure 49). Trigraphic country codes shall be listed first in alphabetical order followed by coalition or international organization

(6) DISPLAY ONLY appears in the banner line only if ALL portions are authorized for DISPLAY ONLY to the same list of countries. REL TO and DISPLAY ONLY may appear in the same banner line only if EVERY portion is authorized for REL TO [same country list] and DISPLAY ONLY [same country list] (see Figures 50, 51, and 52). (7) Within a portion, DISPLAY ONLY can be used in conjunction with REL TO only when all information within the portion has been reviewed through the originator’s foreign disclosure channels and approved for disclosure and release, as applicable, to the listed countries or international organizations and coalitions. (8) IC organizations apply a warning statement, generally on the first page, when derivative use of DISPLAY ONLY information or release to other countries or international organizations is prohibited without authorization from the originating agency. Remove the warning statement when authorization for derivative use is received from the originating organization. Figure 50.

OTHER DISSEMINATION CONTROL MARKINGS. The dissemination control markings in this section fall into the “OTHER DISSEM” category in the marking syntax (CLASSIFICATION//SCI//SAP//AEA//FGI//DISSEM//OTHER DISSEM) and follow all previously discussed markings when used. a. Alternative Compensatory Control Measures (ACCM) (1) ACCM are security measures used to safeguard classified intelligence or operations when normal measures are insufficient to achieve strict need-to-know controls and where SAP controls are not required. See Enclosure 2 of Volume 3 of this Manual for current guidance on use of ACCM. (2) The banner marking for each page of ACCM-protected information shall be the overall classification, the caveat “ACCM,” and the program’s nickname. Use a hyphen (-) without interjected spaces to separate the “ACCM” caveat and the program’s nickname (e.g., SECRET//ACCM-FICTITIOUS EFFORT). If more than one nickname is used, separate them by a forward slash (/) (e.g., SECRET//ACCM-FICTITIOUS EFFORT/TEA LEAF). Figure 59 provides an example of these markings.

(S//ACCM-TEA LEAF) An ACCM-protected portion requiring only the nickname “TEA LEAF” would be marked as shown in this paragraph. (S//ACCM-FICTITIOUS EFFORT) This is the marking for a portion which is SECRET ACCM-protected information requiring only the nickname “FICTITIOUS EFFORT.”
SECRET//ACCM-FICTITIOUS EFFORT/TEA LEAF Classified By: Tom Brown, Chief, Tea Leaf Program Ofc Derived From: Memorandum XYZ, Dated 20071215 Declassify On: 20121215 (3 ) ACCM material will be portion marked with the appropriate classification level abbreviation (e.g. (S)), “ACCM,” and the program’s nickname. Use a hyphen (-) without interjected spaces to separate the “ACCM” caveat and the program’s nickname. Separate multiple nicknames with a single forward slash (/). (4) The portion mark “ACCM” may be used when the applicable programs are the same as the programs listed in the banner line. If the applicable programs are different than shown in the banner line, the complete portion marking must be used (see Figure 59). (5) Only the full nickname may be used after the “ACCM” caveat. No abbreviations or derivations (e.g., digraph or trigraph) of the nickname may be used in place of the full nickname in the banner line or portion markings of ACCM-protected information. b. Department of State (DoS) Dissemination Control Markings. DoS dissemination control markings are provided, for information, in Appendix 3 to this enclosure. Such markings may not be applied in the first instance by DoD personnel. c. Equivalent Foreign Security Classifications.

C ONTROLLED IMAGERY (IMCON) a. IMCON is used to protect sources and analytic methods associated with the geospatial intelligence discipline that are particularly vulnerable to countermeasures, and if disclosed or released could negate or measurably reduce the effectiveness of those methodologies. b. IMCON may be applied ONLY to information classified at the SECRET level . c. Imagery and/or text reporting bearing the IMCON marking requires a dissemination notice to be applied. See Reference (o) for details. d. For additional information on proper markings, control and releasability of IMCON, refer to References (m) and (am), the NGA Security Classification Guide, and the sensitive analytical techniques Web page, or contact the NGA Disclosure Office. e. The IMCON material must be classified SECRET (see Figure 54); however, if IMCON information is included in a paragraph containing TOP SECRET information, the appropriate classification would be TOP SECRET//IMCON. f. The banner line of documents containing both IMCON and NOFORN portions must be marked //IMCON/NOFORN, with a classification no lower than SECRET (see Figure 55). g. IMCON information may not be processed on SIPRNET without prior approval from the Sensitive Analytical Techniques Panel. Contact the panel chair for additional information. Figure 55. Example of IMCON Marking UNCLASSIFIED – CLASSIFICATION MARKINGS FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY SECRET//IMCON/RELIDO (S//IMC/RELIDO) This is the marking for a portion that is classified SECRET CONTROLLED IMAGERY and whose further release may be determined by a designated intelligence disclosure official, or those to whom such authority has been delegated.

NOFORN is applied, in accordance with section XI.E of Reference (am), to classified intelligence that may not be released in any form to foreign governments, foreign nationals, foreign organizations, or non-US citizens without permission of the originator of the information (see Figure 56). Figure 57. Example of NOFORN Marking UNCLASSIFIED – CLASSIFICATION MARKINGS FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY TOP SECRET//NOFORN (TS//NF) This is the marking for a portion that is classified TOP SECRET NOT RELEASABLE TO FOREIGN NATIONALS.

When a document contains NOFORN and REL TO or NOFORN and RELIDO portions, NOFORN takes precedence for the markings in the banner line (see Figure 57). Figure 58. Example of NOFORN Markings with REL TO Portions UNCLASSIFIED – CLASSIFICATION MARKINGS FOR ILLUSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY SECRET//NOFORN (S//REL TO USA, JPN) This is the marking for a portion that is classified SECRET RELEASABLE TO USA and JAPAN.

SECRET//NOFORN Classified By: J. Jones, Mgr., ABC Dept. Derived From: Memorandum XYZ, Dated 20071215 Declassify On: 20171231 e. All national intelligence, which is under the purview of the DNI, is to be explicitly marked at both the banner and portion level for foreign disclosure or release in accordance with Reference (m)). However, Reference (m) is not applicable to classified military intelligence subject to disclosure or release under NDP-1. The NOFORN caveat should be used as infrequently as possible on otherwise uncaveated classified military intelligence. Absence of the NOFORN caveat allows foreign disclosure officials to exercise their discretionary authority in accordance with References (x), (am), and (ao). 3. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION INVOLVED (PROPIN) a. PROPIN is a control marking used by the IC to identify information provided by a commercial firm or private source under an express or implied understanding that the information will be protected as a proprietary trade secret or proprietary data believed to have actual or potential value (see Figure 58). The marking may not be used on DoD documents except where those documents use IC information so marked. The marking may be used on U.S. Government proprietary information (e.g., budget or financial information) ONLY when that information can provide an unfair advantage (e.g., for contractor(s)). b. PROPIN may be used with TOP SECRET, SECRET, CONFIDENTIAL, or UNCLASSIFIED. c. PROPIN appears in the banner if any portion contains PROPIN information. d. Information marked as PROPIN may not be disseminated outside the Federal Government in any form without the express permission of the originator and the provider of the proprietary information.

DoDM 5200.01-V2, February 24, 2012 Change 4, 7/28/2020 100 APPENDIX 1 TO ENCLOSURE 4 e. The PROPIN control marking precludes dissemination to contractors irrespective of their status to, or within, the U.S. Government without the authorization of the originator and the provider of the information.

RELIDO is a dissemination control marking that may be applied to national intelligence information to indicate that the originator has authorized Designated Intelligence Disclosure Officials (DIDOs), or their designee, to make further release determinations in accordance with existing foreign disclosure policy and procedures (see Figure 59). (See References (m) and (ao) for further information.) b. RELIDO may be used only with national intelligence information. c. RELIDO may be used only with TOP SECRET, SECRET, or CONFIDENTIAL. It may be used independently or with REL TO. d. RELIDO may not be used in the same portion or banner line with NOFORN. When a document contains both NOFORN and RELIDO portions, NOFORN takes precedence for the markings in the banner line. e. Only DIDOs, or their designees, are authorized to further release information marked RELIDO without consulting the originator. Defense Intelligence Component Foreign Disclosure Officers (FDO) are not authorized to release information marked RELIDO unless specifically authorized. DIDOs may sub-delegate this authority, in writing, to FDOs within their organizations who have received formal training on disclosure and release of national intelligence and use of the RELIDO marking, and whose responsibilities include making release decisions for national intelligence produced by their organizations. Contact the local foreign disclosure office for further guidance on RELIDO processes and procedures. Check the CAPCO website for a list of DIDOs.

T he FISA control marking denotes the presence of FISA or FISA-derived information in the document. This is an informational marking only to highlight such information. The FISA control marking required by this Volume does not satisfy or alter the legal requirement for such information to be accompanied by the FISA warning or caveat described in subparagraph 5.b. of this section. b. I n accordance with section 1801, et. seq., of title 50, U.S.C (also known as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, as amended (Reference (aq))), information collected pursuant to the statute may not be disclosed for law enforcement purposes unless the disclosure is accompanied by a statement that such information, or any information derived therefrom, may only be used in a criminal proceeding with advance authorization of the Attorney General of the United States. c. Specific wording of the applicable FISA warning or caveat must be provided by the cognizant legal office (see Figure 60). The FISA warning or caveat should be collocated with the FISA or FISA-derived information; however, when necessary due to formatting limitations of some electronic systems, the FISA warning or caveat may appear at the top or bottom (e.g., in the header or footer) of the document. d. B oth the banner and portion marking use the abbreviation FISA.

The portion marking for NODIS is ([classification]//ND) (see Figure 62). b. NODIS messages are “eyes-only,” to be read only by individuals named in the distribution instructions or by those designated to receive NODIS. Such messages may not be shown to anyone other than the addressees, even if the named individuals determine that those under their authority have a need to know, without prior approval from the DoS Operations Center. If more than one official has been authorized to see NODIS material, maintain an official record of every individual who reads each incoming message.
