14 C.F.R. § 1203.403 State-of-the-art and intelligence.
Title 14 - Aeronautics and Space
A logical approach to classification requires consideration of the extent to which the same or similar information available from intelligence sources is known or is available to others. It is also important to consider whether it is known publicly, either domestically or internationally, that the United States has the information or even is interested in the subject matter. The known state-of-the-art in other nations is an additional substantive factor requiring consideration.
