    (a) Classification in Industrial Operations. Classification of

original classification determinations and shall implement the 
classification decisions of the U.S. Government contracting authority.
    (b) Contract Security Classification Specification. DD Form 254, 
``Contract Security Classification Specification,'' shall be used to 
convey contractual security classification guidance to industrial 
management. DD Forms 254 shall be changed by the originator to reflect 
changes in classification guidance and reviewed for currency and 
accuracy not less than once every 2 years. Changes shall conform with 
this part and DoD 5220.22-R and DoD 5220.22-M and shall be provided to 
all holders of the DD Form 254 as soon as possible. When no changes are 
made as a result of the biennial review, the originator shall so notify 
all holders of the DD Form 254 in writing.
