14 C.F.R. Subpart E—Derivative Classification
Title 14 - Aeronautics and Space
The application of derivative classification markings is a responsibility of those who incorporate, paraphrase, restate, or generate in new form information that is already classified, and of those who apply markings in accordance with instructions from an authorized original classifier or in accordance with an authorized classification guide. If a person who applied derivative classification markings believes that the paraphrasing, restating, or summarizing of classified information has changed the level of or removed the basis for classification, that person must consult for a determination with an appropriate official of the originating agency or office of origin who has the authority to upgrade, downgrade, or declassify the information. [48 FR 5891, Feb. 9, 1983] Persons who apply derivative classification markings shall: (a) Observe and respect original classification decisions: (b) Verify the information's current level of classification so far as practicable before applying the markings; and (c) Carry forward to newly created documents any assigned authorized markings. The declassification date or event that provides the longest period of classification shall be used for documents classified on the basis of multiple sources. [44 FR 34913, June 18, 1979, as amended at 48 FR 5891, Feb. 9, 1983]
