In documentary form, they provide COMSEC guidance or information. Many COMSEC documents and materials are accountable under the Communications Security Material Control System. Examples are items bearing transmission security (TSEC) nomenclature and crypto keying material for use in enciphering communications and other COMSEC documentation such as National COMSEC Instructions, National COMSEC/Emanations Security (EMSEC) Information Memoranda, National COMSEC Committee Policies, COMSEC Resources Program documents, COMSEC Equipment Engineering Bulletins, COMSEC Equipment System Descriptions, and COMSEC Technical Bulletins. 2-2 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2014/01/23: CIA-RDP93B01194R001000040003-3 Declassified in Part- Sanitized Copy Approved for Release2014/01/23 : CIA-RDP93B01194R001000040003-3 Mar 21, 83 5200.30 (Encl. 2) (2) Those that relate to SIGINT. These appear as reports in various formats that bear security classifications, sometimes followed by five-letter codewords (World War II's ULTRA, for example) and often carrying warning caveats such as "This document contains codeword material" and "Utmost secrecy is neces- sary..." Formats may appear as messages having addressees, "from" and "to" sections, and as summaries with SIGINT content with or without other kinds of intelligence and comment. (3) RDT&E reports and information that relate to either COMSEC or SIGINT. b. Commonly used words that may help in identification of cryptologic documents and materials are "cipher," "code," "codeword," "communications in- telligence" or "COMINT," "communications security" or "COMSEC," "cryptanalysis," "crypto," "cryptography," "cryptosystem," "decipher," "decode," "decrypt," "direction finding," "electronic intelligence" or "ELINT," "electronic security," "encipher," "encode," "encrypt," "intercept," "key book," "signals intelligence" or "SIGINT," "signal security," and "TEMPEST."

All foreign government Information that has been incorporated Into the permanently valuable records of the United States Government and -that has been accessioned into the National Archives of the United States shall be systematically reviewed for declassification by the Archivist of the United States. Declassification reviews shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of these general guidelines or, if available, in accordance with specific systematic review guidelines for foreign government information provided by the agency heads who have declassification authority over that information. All foreign government information (a) not identified in ? 2002.6 of these general guidelines or in specific agency guidelines as requiring item-by-item declassification review and final determination by an agency declassification authority, and (13) for which a prior declassification date has not been established, shall be declassified as that information becomes thirty Tears old. ? 2002.2 Definition. "Foreign government information" as used in these guidelines means: (a) Information provided by a foreign government or governments, an international organization of ?governments, or any element thereof with the expectation, expressed or implied, that the information, the:Bource of the information, or both, are to tie held in confidence; Or .(b) Information produced by the United States pursuant to or as a result 'of a joint arrangement with a foreign government or governments or an international organization of governments, or any element thereof, requiring that the information, the arrangement. or both, are to be held in confidence. ? 2002.3 Scope. (a) These guidelines apply to foreign government information that has been received or classified by the United States Government or its agents, and has been incorporated into records determined by the Archivist of the United States to have permanent value. (b) Atomic energy information (including information originated prior to 1947 and not marked as such; information received from the United Kingdom or Canada marked "Atomic," or information received from NATO 3-2 marked "Atomal") that is defined and Identified as "Restricted Data" or "Formerly Restricted Data" in Sections Ily and 142d of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, is outside the scope of these guidelines. Such information is not subject to systematic review and may not be automatically downgraded or declassified. Any document containing information within the definition of "Restricted Data" or "Formerly Restricted Data" that is not so marked shall be referred to the Department of Energy Office of Classification for review and appropriate marking, except for licensing and related regulatory matters which shall be referred to the Division of Security, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. ? 2002.4 Responsibilities. (a) Foreign government information transferred to the General Services Administration for accession into the National Archives of the United States shall be reviewed by the Archivist of the United States for declassification in accordance with Executive Order 12356. the directives of the Information Security Oversight Office, these general guidelines, and any specific systematic declassification guidelines provided by the agency with declassification authority over the information.

Technological developments; widespread public knowledge of the subject matter; changes in military plans, operations, systems, or equipment; changes in the foreign relations or defense commitments of the United States; and similar events may bear upon the determination of whether information should be declas- sified. If the responsible DoD reviewer decides that, in view of such circum- stances, the public disclosure of the information being reviewed no longer would result in damage to the national security, the information shall be declassified. 2. The following are examples of considerations that may be appropriate in deciding whether information in the categories listed in enclosure 2 may be declassified when it is reviewed: a. The information no longer provides the United States ,a scientific, engineering, technical, operational, intelligence, strategic, or tactical advantage over other nations. b. The operational military capability of the United States revealed by the information no longer constitutes a limitation on the effectiveness of the Armed Forces. c. The information is pertinent to a system that no longer is used or relied on for the defense of the United States or its allies and does not disclose the capabilities or vulnerabilities of existing operational systems. d. The program, project, or system information no longer reveals a current weakness or vulnerability. e. The information pertains to an intelligence objective or diplomatic initiative that has been abandoned or achieved and will no longer damage the foreign relations of the United States. f. The information reveals the fact or identity of a U.S. intelligence source, method, or capability that no longer is employed and that relates no current source, method, or capability that upon disclosure could cause damage to national security or place a person in immediate jeopardy. to g. The information concerns foreign relations matters whose disclosure can no longer be expected to cause or increase international tension to the detriment of the national security of the United States. 3. Declassification of information that reveals the identities of clandestine human agents shall be accomplished only in accordance with procedures estab- lished by the Director of Central Intelligence for that purpose. 4. The NSA/CSS is the sole authority for the review and declassification of classified cryptologic information. The procedures established by the NSA/CSS to facilitate the review and declassification of classified cryptologic in- formation are: 4-1 74,7**AAS, Aes Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2014/01/23: CIA-RDP93B01194R001000040003-3 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2014/01/23: CIA-RDP93B01194R001000040003-3 a.
