PART E - RECLASSIFICATION

1.  AUTHORITY TO RECLASSIFY INFORMATION AND DOCUMENTS.

    a.   Information.

         (1)  Restricted Data and Formerly Restricted Data.  Pursuant to
              section 146 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, RD
              and FRD information which has been formally declassified by
              proper authority may not be reclassified.

         (2)  National Security Information.  NSI which has been formally
              declassified by proper authority may only be reclassified by
              the Director of Security Affairs (SA-1) or higher authority.
              Pursuant to section 1.6(c) of Executive Order 12356,
              previously declassified NSI information may be reclassified if
              it is determined in writing that (a) the information requires
              protection in the interest of national security and (b) the
              information may reasonably be recovered.  (See ISOO Directive
              No. 1, paragraph 2001.6, on page X-18 for further
              information.)

    b.   Documents or Material.  In most cases, documents or material may be
         reclassified by their Original Classifiers or by Derivative
         Classifiers pursuant to their designated authority.  Custodians of
         the documents may indicate reclassification by changing the
         classification markings on a document upon receipt of notification
         from proper authority.  If such reclassifications are authorized
         through classification guides, only those authorized to use the
         classification guides (i.e., Original and Derivative Classifiers)
         may make changes, or direct that changes be made, on documents or
         material affected by the change.

2.  PROCEDURES FOR RECLASSIFYING INFORMATION AND DOCUMENTS.

    a.   Notification of Reclassification.

         (1)  Information.  Written notification of reclassification of
              information shall be made by SA-20 and may be in the form of a
              classification guide or bulletin.

         (2)  Documents or Material.  Those individuals authorizing the
              reclassification of documents or material will assure that all
              holders of the documents or material who have a clearance for
              and a need to know the reclassified information are notified
              as follows:

              (a)  Content of Notices.  Reclassification notices should
                   identify the document as fully as possible, citing the
                   title (or briefly describing the document); the
                   identification number, if any; the authority; the
                   document date; the person authorizing the change; and the
                   nature and date of the change.  Notices should be
                   classified in accordance with appropriate classification
                   guidance.

              (b)  Forwarding of Notices.  If the recipient of a
                   reclassification notice has transmitted the document to
                   another custodian who has the proper level of clearance
                   and a need to know the reclassified information, the
                   reclassification notice should be forwarded to the new
                   custodian.

    b.   Marking of Reclassified Documents.  The person changing the
         markings of a document upon receipt of proper authorization to
         reclassify it shall mark the new classification on the document and
         cancel the former markings (if any).  Any such change must be
         verified by a second individual.  A statement containing the
         following information shall also be placed on the first page of the
         document:

              Reclassified to     CONFIDENTIAL - NSI
              (Insert appropriate classification level and category)

              by authority of     CHANGE NOTICE #1              7/5/89
              (Authority for reclassification)                  (Date)

              by                                                8/1/89
              (Signature of person making change)               (Date)

              Verified by:                                      8/3/8
              (Signature of person verifying change)            (Date)
