You may have experience working with classified contracts. However, did you know how information is classified or who designates the level of classification? A review EO 12958 can give us those answers. Original Classification Authority is practiced by only certain designated individuals. This effective group is designed to assign a classification level based on various guidelines to certain information. Only a select group of individuals can designate classification levels to any product.
There are very specific rules or standards required of a product before that select group can assign it a level. These safeguards are in place for many reasons among a few include preventing arbitrary assignments which may become a burden to the user.
Only original classification authority can classify information. Again this is a select group of individuals. Specifically, only the President and in certain circumstances the Vice President, agency heads designated by the President in the Federal Register and appointed U.S. Government Officials.
As we will discover later, security clearances will be kept at the minimum amount necessary to accomplish the work efficiently. In the same manner, Agency heads are responsible for ensuring that only the minimum amount of subordinate officials has a validated need to delegate original classification. It is these Government’s checks and balances that ensure responsibility and accountability. Everything that is classified must be accounted for, documented and tracked throughout its existence.
The President and while performing executive duties, the Vice President and agency heads and officials designated by the President can delegate Top Secret original classification authority. Secret and Confidential designation authority can only be given to those mentioned above and senior agency officials. This designation responsibility comes with precautions as each one designation must be done so in writing listing the name or job title. The responsibility cannot be automatically re-delegated.
The Original Classification Authorities have to attend training as identified in the Executive Order and other directives. The training is similar to annual security awareness training the Facility Security Officers are required to offer employees with security clearances in that the training must include proper safeguarding of classified information and the criminal, civil and administrative penalties charged against those who fail to protect it from unauthorized disclosure.
In some cases, government employees, contractors or others may find themselves originating information they believe may be classified. They are not authorized to actually assign a classification. However, they are responsible for protecting the information as if it is classified at the level they believe it to be. In this case, they must transfer the information (with proper protection) to the agency having knowledge and classification authority for a determination. The agency will have 30 days to make a decision of whether or not to classify the item or send it to the Director Information Security Oversight Office. The Director will determine which agency the item should be sent to next for evaluation.
Hopefully this short article has given you a better understanding of how and why information is classified. Based on EO 12958, we have seen that classification isn’t issued arbitrarily and that there is a certain level of accountability for those who have been delegated as having the authority to assign original classification to information. Join us for future articles on how the Original Classification Authorities issue classification levels.

how to get general Contractor License in california?
how to prepare to exams?
The best thing to do is check out the California State Contractors Board. Under the “applicant” section there is information on how to apply, what qualifications are needed, how to qualify for a waiver of the exam, application fees, how to study for the exams, what the different classifications are as far as what area you want to be licensed in. (Do you want general contractors, pipeline, etc.) And also information on what liability insurance is required.
I know that there are different companies that offer classes either in a classroom setting or online to help prepare you for the exam, as well as assist with completing all the forms correctly. However, these may cost, research them well before choosing one. On the website there are sample questions for each type of classification and a list of resources that may help with studying for the exams.
I hope this helps you. I have included a link to the website for you.
GOOD LUCK!!!!
Electricians Pass the Electrical Exam and Pull Your Own Permits!
In by gone days all a contractor had to do was give the customer good quality and good service and he/she would be set. Then set back and let your customers do your selling for you. They would tell a friend and then that friend would tell a friend. Your phone would be ringing off the hook. I remember as an Architectural designer some days I would have up to four people wanting to schedule appointments for designs. Those days are long gone! But Fear Not! Click Here For Help
