Pending final determination, the material shall be safeguarded as required for its assigned or proposed classification, whichever is higher, until the classification is changed or otherwise verified.

4. Intelligence material carries special markings. The following is a list of the authorized control markings of intelligence material:

4.1. “Dissemination and Extraction of Information Controlled by Originator (ORCON).” This marking is used, with a security classification, to enable a continuing knowledge and supervision by the originator of the use made of the information involved. This marking may be used on intelligence which clearly identifies, or would reasonably permit ready identification of an intelligence source or method which is particularly susceptible to countermeasures that would nullify or measurably reduce its effectiveness. This marking may not be used when an item or information will reasonably be protected by use of other markings specified herein, or by the application of the “need-to-know” principle and the safeguarding procedures of the security classification system.

4.2. “Authorized for Release to (Name of country(ies) International Organization.” The above in abbreviated “REL______.” This marking must be used when it is necessary to identify classified intelligence material the U.S. Government originator has predetermined to be released or has been released through established foreign disclosure channels to the indicated country(ies) or organization.

5. The following procedures govern the use of control markings:

5.1. Any recipient desiring to use intelligence in a manner contrary to restrictions established by the control marking set forth in para. 4 above, shall obtain the advance permission of the originating agency through the GPM. Such permission applies only to the specific purposes agreed to by the originator and does not automatically apply to all recipients. Originators shall ensure that prompt consideration is given to recipients’ requests in these regards, with particular attention to reviewing and editing, if necessary, sanitized or paraphrased versions to derive a text suitable for release subject to lesser or no control markings.

5.2. The control marking authorized above shall be shown on the title page, front cover, and other applicable pages of documents, incorporated in the text of electrical communications, shown on graphics, and associated (in full or abbreviated from) with data stored or processed in automatic data processing systems. The control marking also shall be indicated by parenthetical use of the marking abbreviations at the beginning or end of the appropriate portions. If the control marking applies to several or all portions, the document must be marked with a statement to this effect rather than marking each portion individually.

5.3. The control markings shall be individually assigned at the time of preparation of intelligence products and used in conjunction with security classifications and other marking specified by E.O. 12526 and its implementing security directives. The marking shall be carried forward to any format in which the same information is incorporated including oral and visual presentations.

Ref 10g: The contractor is permitted access to North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Secret or Top Secret information. This means information belonging to, and circulated by, NATO.
