“FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY” (FOUO) INFORMATION AND RECORDS

5. The disclosure of scientific or technological developments vital to national security. SECRET.—Secret is the designation which will be applied only to information or material in which the unauthorized disclosure could reasonably be expected to cause SERIOUS DAMAGE to the national security. Examples include: 1. Disruption of foreign relations significantly affecting the national security. 2. Significant impairment of a program or policy directly related to the national security. 3. Revelation of significant military plans or intelligence operations. 4. Compromise of significant military plans or intelligence operations. 5. Compromise of significant scientific or technological developments relating to national security. CONFIDENTIAL.—Confidential is the designation which will be applied only to infor- mation or material in which the unauthorized disclosure should reasonably be expected to cause IDENTIFIABLE DAMAGE to the national security. Examples include: 1. Compromise of information which in- dicates strength of ground, air, and naval forces in the United States and overseas areas. 2. Disclosure of technical information used for training, maintenance, and inspection of classified munitions of war. 3. Revelation of performance characteristics, test data, design, and production data on muni- tions of war. PHYSICAL SECURITY OF CLASSIFIED MATERIAL Classified material (Top Secret, Secret, and Confidential) is not normally stored in the office of the chaplain. As a general rule, if a situation arises which requires a chaplain and/or RP to review classified material, the material is either: (1) reviewed in the office of the chaplain by authorized personnel only and returned im- mediately to the person who has control of classified material aboard the command; or (2) the chaplain and/or RP proceed to the loca- tion where classified material is maintained and controlled. In either instance security consciousness MUST be exercised at all times. The RP should consult personnel in the ad- ministrative office when questions arise con- cerning the review and stowage procedures for classified information. As previously discussed, every individual in the Department of the Navy who is granted access to classified information is responsible for protecting that information. RPs need to do their part in ensuring that the Com- mand Religious Program does its share in pro- tecting classified information in support of national defense efforts. “FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY” (FOUO) INFORMATION AND RECORDS Uniform standards and procedures for mark- ing, handling, and safeguarding FOUO material are contained in SECNAVINST 5570.2. This in- struction also covers the control and protection of all UNCLASSIFIED information and records and other materials that are exempted from general public disclosure. The RP should exercise care to ensure that Command Religious Program FOUO material does not become accessible to unauthorized per- sons. This material must be given a higher degree of protection than other unclassified material. Following are some procedures for safeguarding FOUO material: FOUO material should not be left unat- tended on desks. FOUO material should be placed out of sight when not in use. Unauthorized personnel should not be allowed in the area when FOUO material is being reviewed. It is important to note that the caveat “For Official Use Only” is NOT a security classifica- tion. However, FOUO material must be safeguarded in accordance with SECNAVINST 5570.2 directives.
