Sec. 2700.21  Definition and application.


    Derivative classification is the act of assigning a level of 
classification to information which is determined to be the same in 
substance as information which is currently classified. Thus, derivative 
classification may be accomplished by any person cleared for access to 
that level of information, regardless of whether the person has original 
classification authority at that level.
