5. Security Classification System Overview Classification Guides • 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

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
