longer time approved in writing by the DOE or the Laboratory for good cause shown), the Government shall have the right, and may direct the Laboratory to cancel or ignore the markings at any time after said period and the data will no longer be made subject to any disclosure prohibitions.

(iii) If the Contractor provides written justification to substantiate the propriety of the markings within the period set in paragraph (e)(1)(i) of this clause, the DOE or Laboratory will consider such written justification and determine whether or not the markings are to be cancelled or ignored. If the DOE or Laboratory determines that the markings are authorized, the Contractor will be so notified in writing. If the DOE or Laboratory determines, with concurrence of the head of the contracting activity, that the markings are not authorized, the DOE or Laboratory will furnish the Contractor a written determination, which determination will become the final agency decision regarding the appropriateness of the markings unless the Contractor files suit in a court of competent jurisdiction within 90 days of receipt of the DOE or Laboratory's decision. The Government and the Laboratory will continue to abide by the markings under this paragraph (e)(1)(iii) until final resolution of the matter either by the DOE or Laboratory's determination becoming final (in which instance the Government or the Laboratory will thereafter have the right to cancel or ignore the markings at any time and the data will no longer be made subject to any disclosure prohibitions), or by final disposition of the matter by court decision if suit is filed.

(2) The time limits in the procedures set forth in paragraph (e)(1) of this clause may be modified in accordance with agency regulations implementing the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) if necessary to respond to a request thereunder.

(3) Except to the extent the Government's action occurs as the result of final disposition of the matter by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Contractor is not precluded by paragraph (e) of the clause from bringing a claim, in accordance with the Disputes clause of this contract, that may arise as the result of the Government removing or ignoring authorized markings on data delivered under this contract.

(f) Omitted or incorrect markings.

(1) Data delivered to the Government or the Laboratory without any restrictive markings shall be deemed to have been furnished with unlimited rights. The Government and the Laboratory are not liable for the disclosure, use, or reproduction of such data.

(2) If the unmarked data has not been disclosed without restriction outside the Government or Laboratory, the Contractor may request, within 6 months (or a longer time approved by the DOE or Laboratory in writing for good cause shown) after delivery of the data, permission to have authorized notices placed on the data at the Contractor's expense. The DOE or Laboratory may agree to do so if the Contractor -

(i) Identifies the data to which the omitted notice is to be applied;

(ii) Demonstrates that the omission of the notice was inadvertent;

(iii) Establishes that the proposed notice is authorized; and

(iv) Acknowledges that the Government and Laboratory have no liability for the disclosure, use, or reproduction of any data made prior to the addition of the notice or resulting from the omission of the notice.
