APPENDIX F – FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY INFORMATION

DD254 Reference Item 10j:

For Official Use Only Information

1. FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY INFORMATION

The For Official Use Only (FOUO) marking is assigned to information at the time of its creation by a DoD User Agency. It is not authorized as a substitute for a security classification marking but is used on official government information that may be withheld from the public under exemptions 2 through 9 of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

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 or portions of it.

2. HANDLING:

Access to FOUO material shall be limited to those employees who need the material to do their jobs. The FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY marking is assigned to information when created by a DoD User Agency. FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY is not classification, but required extra precautions to ensue that it is not released to the public.

3. IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS:

a. Mark an unclassified document containing FOUO information "FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY" at the bottom of each page containing FOUO information and on the bottom of the front cover (if any) and on the back of the last page and on the back cover (if any).

b. In a classified document, mark:

- An individual paragraph that contains FOLIO, but not classified information, by placing "(FOUO)" at the beginning of the paragraph

- The top and bottom of each page that has both "FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY" and classified information, with the highest security classification of information on that page.

- "FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY" at the bottom of each page that has FOUO but not classified.

- If a classified document also contains FOUO information or if the classified material becomes FOUO when declassified, place the following statement on the bottom of the cover or first page, under the classification marking: "NOTE: If declassified, review the document to make sure material is not FOUO and not exempt under Freedom of Information Act before public release."

c. Mark other records, such as computer print outs, photographs, films, tapes, or slides "FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY" so that the receiver or viewer knows the record contains FOUO information.

d. Mark each part of a message that contains FOUO information. Unclassified messages containing FOUO information must show the abbreviation "FOUO" before the text begins.

e. Make sure that documents, which transmit FOUO materials, call attention to any FOUO attachments.

f. Any FOUO material released to a contractor by a DoD User Agency must have the following statement on the front page or cove THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINING INFORMATION EXEMPT FROM MANDATORY

DISCLOSURE UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT. EXEMPTION 5 APPLIES.

g. Removal of the FOUO marking can only be accomplished by the originator or other competent authority. When the FOUO status is terminated, all known holders will be notified to the extent practical.

4. DISSEMINATION:

Contractors may disseminate FOUO information to their employees and subcontractors who have a need for the information in connection with a classified contract.

5. STORAGE:

During working hours, FOUO 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.

6. TRANSMISSION:

FOUO material shall be transported via first class mail, parcel post, or fourth class mail for bulk shipments.

Transmit FOUO message traffic via approved secure communication system. Discussion or FOUO material over a secure telephone is authorized if necessary for performance of the contract. FOUO information shall be transmitted over telephone lines with encryption.

7. DISPOSITION & DISCLOSURE:

When no longer needed, FOUO information may be disposed of by tearing each copy into pieces to preclude reconstructing, and placing it in a regular trash container. Unauthorized disclosure of FOUO information does not constitute a security violation but the releasing agency should be informed of any unauthorized disclosure. The unauthorized disclosure of FOUO information protected by the Privacy Act may result in criminal sanctions. FOUO information shall not be released outside contractor's facility except to representatives of the DoD but via the Government Contracting Officer.
