Sec. 2001.20  General [1.7].


    A uniform security classification system requires that standard 
markings be applied to classified information. Except in extraordinary 
circumstances, or as approved by the Director of ISOO, the marking of 
classified information created after October 14, 1995, shall not deviate 
from the following prescribed formats. If markings cannot be affixed to 
specific classified information or materials, the originator shall 
provide holders or recipients of the information with written 
instructions for protecting the information. Markings shall be uniformly 
and conspicuously applied to leave no doubt about the classified status 
of the information, the level of protection required, and the duration 
of classification.
