Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) Requirements The Controlled Unclassified Information marking is assigned to information at the time of its creation in a DOD User Agency. It is not authorized as a substitute for a security classification marking but it is used on official Government Information that may be withheld from the public under exemptions 2 through 9 of the Freedom of Information Act.

Other non-security markings such as "Limited Official Use" and "Official Use Only" are used by non-DOD User Agencies for the same type of information and should be safeguarded and handled in accordance with instructions received from such agencies.

Use of the above markings does not mean that the information cannot be released to the public, only that it must be reviewed by the Government prior to its release to determine whether a significant and legitimate Government purpose is served by withholding the information portions of it.

IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS:

At minimum, CUI markings for unclassified DoD documents will include the acronym “CUI” in the banner and footer of the document. In accordance with Part 2002 of Title 32, CFR, the CUI designation indicator must contain, at minimum, the name of the DoD Component determining that the information is CUI.

All document subjects and titles, as well as individual sections, parts, paragraphs, or similar portions of a CUI document known to contain CUI, will be portion marked with “(CUI).” Use of the unclassified marking “(U)” as a portion marking for unclassified information within CUI documents or Materials is required.

Any Controlled Unclassified Information" released to a contractor by a DOD User Agency is required to be marked with the following statement prior to transfer:

THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS INFORMATION EXEMPT FROM MANDATORY DISCLOSURE UNDER THE FOIA.

EXEMPTIONS APPLY.

When Uncontrolled Unclassified Information status is terminated, all known holders will be notified to the extent possible.

DISSEMINATION: Contractors may disseminate Controlled Unclassified Information to their employees and subcontractors who have a need for the information in connection with a classified contract.

STORAGE: During working hours Controlled Unclassified Information shall be placed in an out-of-sight location if the work area is accessible to persons who do not have a need for the information. During non-working hours, the information shall be stored to preclude unauthorized access. Filing such material with other unclassified records in unlocked files or desks is adequate when internal building security is provided during non-working hours. When such internal security control is not exercised, locked buildings or rooms will provide adequate after hours -protection or the material can be stored in locked receptacles such as file cabinets, desks or bookcases.

TRANSMISSION: Controlled Unclassified Information may be sent via first-class mail or parcel post. Bulky shipments may be sent fourth-class mail. Controlled Unclassified Information when sent via Government Email must be ENCRYPTED. Transmission via non Government Email is prohibited.

DISPOSITION: When no longer needed, Controlled Unclassified Information will be disposed of by shredding to preclude reconstructing and before placing in a recycling or trash container or as directed by the User Agency.

Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) Requirements The Controlled Unclassified Information marking is assigned to information at the time of its creation in a DOD User Agency. It is not authorized as a substitute for a security classification marking but it is used on official Government Information that may be withheld from the public under exemptions 2 through 9 of the Freedom of Information Act.

Other non-security markings such as "Limited Official Use" and "Official Use Only" are used by non-DOD User Agencies for the same type of information and should be safeguarded and handled in accordance with instructions received from such agencies.

Use of the above markings does not mean that the information cannot be released to the public, only that it must be reviewed by the Government prior to its release to determine whether a significant and legitimate Government purpose is served by withholding the information portions of it.

IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS:

At minimum, CUI markings for unclassified DoD documents will include the acronym “CUI” in the banner and footer of the document. In accordance with Part 2002 of Title 32, CFR, the CUI designation indicator must contain, at minimum, the name of the DoD Component determining that the information is CUI.

All document subjects and titles, as well as individual sections, parts, paragraphs, or similar portions of a CUI document known to contain CUI, will be portion marked with “(CUI).” Use of the unclassified marking “(U)” as a portion marking for unclassified information within CUI documents or Materials is required.

Any Controlled Unclassified Information" released to a contractor by a DOD User Agency is required to be marked with the following statement prior to transfer:

THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS INFORMATION EXEMPT FROM MANDATORY DISCLOSURE UNDER THE FOIA. EXEMPTIONS APPLY.

Removal of the Uncontrolled Unclassified Information marking can only be accomplished by the originator or other competent authority. When Uncontrolled Unclassified Information status is terminated, all known holders will be notified to the extent possible.

DISSEMINATION: Contractors may disseminate Controlled Unclassified Information to their employees and subcontractors who have a need for the information in connection with a classified contract.

STORAGE: During working hours Controlled Unclassified Information shall be placed in an out-of-sight location if the work area is accessible to persons who do not have a need for the information. During non-working hours, the information shall be stored to preclude unauthorized access. Filing such material with other unclassified records in unlocked files or desks is adequate when internal building security is provided during non-working hours.
