FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY/CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED

INFORMATION SUPPLEMENT

1. Definitions.

a. Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Unclassified information which requires access and distribution limitations prior to appropriate coordination and an official determination by cognizant authority approving clearance of the information for release to one or more foreign governments or international organizations, or for official public release. Per DoD Manual 5200.01, Volume 4 it includes the following types of information: "For Official Use Only" (FOUO); “Sensitive But Unclassified” (State Department information); “DEA Sensitive Information” (Drug Enforcement Agency information); “DoD Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information”; “Sensitive Information” as defined in the Computer Security Act of 1987; and information contained in technical documents (i.e., Technical Data) as discussed in DoD 5230.24, 5230.25, International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR), and the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). Other sensitive information includes Personally Identifiable Information (PII), information covered by the Privacy Act of 1974, and company proprietary information. DoDM 5200.01, Volume 4, DoDD 5205.02, DoDD 5230.9, and DoDI 8550.01 provide additional guidance on the handling of information described in this paragraph.

b. Dual Citizenship. A dual citizen is a citizen of two nations. For the purposes of this document, an individual must have taken an action to obtain or retain dual citizenship.

Citizenship gained as a result of birth to non-U.S. parents or by birth in a foreign country to U.S.

parents thus entitling the individual to become a citizen of another nation does not meet the criteria of this document unless the individual has taken action to claim and to retain such citizenship.

c. For Official Use Only (FOUO). FOUO is a dissemination control applied by the DoD to unclassified information that may be withheld from public disclosure under one or more of the nine exemptions of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (See DOD 5400.7-R). FOUO is not a form of classification to protect U.S. national security interests.

d. National of the United States.Title 8, U.S.C. Section 1101(a)(22), defines a National of the U.S. as:

(1) A citizen of the United States, or,

(2) A person who, but not a citizen of the U.S., owes permanent allegiance to the U.S.

NOTE: 8 U.S.C. Section 1401, paragraphs (a) through (g), lists categories of persons born in and outside the U.S. or its possessions that may qualify as Nationals and Citizens of the U.S. This subsection should be consulted when doubt exists as to whether or not a person can qualify as a National of the U.S.

e. U.S. Person. Any form of business enterprise or entity organized, chartered, or incorporated under the laws of the United States or its possessions and trust territories and any person who is a citizen or national (see National of the United States) of the United States, or permanent resident of the United States under the Immigration and Nationality Act.

2. Access.

a. No person may have access to information designated as CUI unless that person has been determined to have a valid need for such access in connection with the accomplishment of a lawful and authorized Government purpose. The final responsibility for determining whether an individual has a valid need for access to information designated as CUI rests with the individual who has authorized possession, knowledge, or control of the information, not with the prospective recipient.

b. e. When CUI is to be provided to or generated by DoD contractors, the controls and protective measures to be applied shall be described in the pertinent contract documents (e.g., contract clause; statement of work; or DD Form 254, “Department of Defense Contract Security Classification Specification”). Solicitations and contracts shall use a non-disclosure of information clause that prohibits release of unclassified information to the public without approval of the contracting activity (e.g., clause 252.204-7000 of the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement). The clause shall also be made applicable to subcontractors.

c. ALL DoD unclassified information MUST BE REVIEWED AND APPROVED FOR

RELEASE through standard DoD Component processes before it is provided to the public (including via posting to publicly accessible websites) in accordance with DoDD 5230.09, Clearance of DoD Information for Public Release, and other applicable regulations. Unclassified information previously approved for release to the public may be shared with any foreign government or organization.

d. Release or disclosure of CUI to foreign governments or international organizations shall be in accordance with DoDD 5230.20, Visits and Assignments of Foreign Nationals, and other policy and procedures that may be established by the USD(P) and the Defense Logistics Agency.

e. Some CUI is export-controlled information which may additionally be protected by law, Executive order, regulation, or contract. DoD officials must pay particular attention to export control regulations and to access restrictions on each type of CUI to ensure compliance with export requirements, especially when non-U.S. citizens are assigned to or visit their organizations.

f. Release or disclosure of CUI to non-U.S. citizens employed by the Department of Defense is permitted, provided access is within the scope of their assigned duties; access would further the execution of a lawful and authorized DoD mission or purpose and would not be detrimental to the interests of the Department of Defense or the U.S. Government; there are no contract restrictions prohibiting access; and the access complies with the requirements of export control regulations, as applicable. In such cases, the non-U.S. citizen shall execute a nondisclosure agreement approved by appropriate DoD Component authorities.

g. CUI may be identified in security classification guides to ensure the information receives appropriate protection. If the security classification guide is subsequently cancelled, a separate memorandum or other guidance document may be issued to identify the declassified information, if any, that qualifies as CUI as well as any CUI previously cited in the guide.

h. For unauthorized disclosures of CUI, no formal security inquiry or investigation is required.

However, appropriate management action shall be taken to fix responsibility for unauthorized disclosure of CUI whenever feasible or required by other guidance, and appropriate disciplinary action shall be taken against those responsible.

i. Non-Sensitive Positions (ADP/IT-III positions). Non-sensitive positions associated with FOUO/CUI are found at Contractor facilities processing such information on their (Contractor's) unclassified computer systems. All unclassified computer systems will be protected in accordance with DFARS 252.204-7012, Safeguarding of Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident Reporting and NIST SP 800-171, with access to CUI/FOUO conducted in accordance with applicable policy. Personnel nominated to occupy ADP/IT-III designated positions must have at least a National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI). The Contractor shall contact DLA Office of Personnel Security at DIPersonnelSecurity(PERSEC)Operations@dla.mil, and provide the requested information.

DLA Office of Personnel Security will assist the Contractor complete the necessary paperwork and fingerprints.

3. Identification Markings. FOUO/CUI shall be marked in accordance with DoDM 5200.01, Volume 4, Enclosure 3, Section 2.c.

4. Handling. Storage of FOUO/CUI outside of Contractor facilities (i.e. residence, telework facility, hotel, etc.) shall be in a locked room, drawer, filing cabinet, briefcase, or other storage device, so that access to the material by unauthorized individuals. Continuous storage of FOUO/CUI outside of a Contractor facility shall not exceed 30 days unless government approval is granted.

5. Transmission/Dissemination/Reproduction.

a. Subject to compliance with official distribution statements, FOUO markings (e.g., Export Control, Proprietary Data) and/or Non-Disclosure Agreements which may apply to individual items in question; authorized Contractors, consultants and grantees may transmit/disseminate FOUO/CUI information to each other, other DoD Contractors and DoD officials who have a legitimate need to know in connection with any DoD authorized contract, solicitation, program or activity. The government Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) will confirm with the Contracting Officer's Representative or Task Order Monitor "legitimate need to know" when required. Contractors shall employ Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Public Key (PK) enabling technologies for the electronic transmission of FOUO/CUI. The following general guidelines apply:

(1) In accordance with DoD Manual 5200.01, Volume 4, “Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI),” Enclosure 3, external electronic data transmissions of CUI/FOUO shall be only over secure communications means approved for transmission of such information.

(2) Encryption of e-mail to satisfy this requirement shall be in accordance with DoD

Instruction 8582.01, “Security of Unclassified DoD Information on Non-DoD Information Systems,” June 6, 2012, being accomplished by use of DoD approved Public Key Infrastructure Certification or by the company’s participation in the “Federal Bridge.”

b. Failure of the Contractor to encrypt FOUO/CUI introduces significant risks to the DLA mission. It is essential for the Contractor to understand that mitigation options that are available.

The Contractor must understand that failure to encrypt FOUO/CUI carries with it certain risks to the mission. These risks can be mitigated with the thoughtful application of processes, procedures, and technology. Some of the available mitigation tools include:

(1) Approved DoD PKI/CAC hardware token certificates or DoD trusted software certificates for encrypting data in transport.

(2) Industry best practice of Virtual Private Network (VPN) Internet Protocol

Security (IPSEC) for intra-organization transport.

(3) Industry best practice of Secure Sockets Layer Portal Web Services for document sharing and storage.

(4) Approved DoD standard solutions for encrypting data at rest.

(5) Approved DoD E-Collaboration services via DLA Portal or Defense Information

Systems Agency (DISA) Network Centric Enterprise Services (NCES).

(6) Any FIPS 140-2 validated encryption [e.g., IPSEC, Secure Socket Layer/Transport

Layer Security (SSL/TLS), Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME)].

(7) Procure and employ Secure Telephone Equipment (STE).

(8) Procure and employ secure facsimile (FAX) capability.

(9) Utilize secure VTC capabilities.

(10) Hand-carry FOUO/CUI.

(11) Utilize mailing through U.S. Postal Service.

(12) Utilize overnight express mail services.

c. FOUO/CUI shall be processed and stored internally on Automated Information Systems (AIS) or networks 1) when distribution is to an authorized recipient and 2) if the receiving system is protected by either physical isolation or a password protection system. Holders shall not use general, broadcast, or universal e-mail addresses to distribute FOUO/CUI. Discretionary access control measures may be used to preclude access to FOUO/CUI files by users who are authorized system users, but who are not authorized access to FOUO/CUI. External transmission of FOUO/CUI shall be secured using NIST-validated encryption. FOUO/CUI cannot be placed on any publically-accessible medium.

d. Reproduction of FOUO/CUI may be accomplished on unclassified copiers within designated government or Contractor reproduction areas.

6. Storage. During working hours, reasonable steps shall be taken to minimize the risk of access by unauthorized personnel (e.g., not reading, discussing, or leaving FOUO/CUI information unattended where unauthorized personnel are present). After working hours, FOUO/CUI information may be stored in unlocked containers, desks, or cabinets if contract building security is provided. If such building security is not provided or is deemed inadequate, the information shall be stored in locked desks, file cabinets, bookcases, locked rooms, etc.

7. Disposition.

a. When no longer required, FOUO/CUI shall be returned to the DLA office that provided the information or destroyed by any of the following means:

a. Burning (Use of burn bags and an authorized burn facility)

b. Cross-cut shredding (Shredders must be listed on the NSA Evaluated Products

List)

c. Any method approved for the destruction of classified material.

b. Removal of the FOUO/CUI status can only be accomplished by the government originator. The DLA COR shall review and/or coordinate with proper authority the removal of FOUO/CUI status for information in support of contract activity.
