    Miscellaneous Information

    Section 1. Tempest

    11-100. General.

    TEMPEST is an unclassified short name referring to investigations

    and studies of compromising emanations. Compromising emanations are

    unintentional intelligence-bearing signals that, if intercepted and

    analyzed, will disclose classified information when it is

    transmitted, received, handled, or otherwise processed by any

    information processing equipment.

    11-101. TEMPEST Requirements.

    a. TEMPEST countermeasures will be applied only in proportion to

    the threat of exploitation and the resulting damage to the national

    security, should the information be obtained by a foreign

    intelligence organization. It is the responsibility of the GCA to

    identify in writing what TEMPEST countermeasures may be required.

    The GCA will identify any TEMPEST requirements within the United

    States to the CSA for approval prior to imposing requirements for

    TEMPEST countermeasures upon their contractors. Contractors may not

    impose TEMPEST countermeasures upon their sub-contractors without

    GCA and CSA approval.

    b.   The Government is responsible for performing threat assessment

    and vulnerability studies when it is determined that classified

    information may be exposed to TEMPEST collection.

    c.   Contractors will assist the GCA in conducting threat and

    vulnerability surveys by providing the following information upon

    request:

         (1)  The specific classification and special categories of

    material to be processed/handled by electronic means.

         (2)  The specific location where classified processing will be

    performed.

         (3)  The name, address, title, and telephone number of a

    point-of-contact at the facility where processing will occur.

    11-102. Cost.

    All costs associated with applying TEMPEST countermeasures, when

    such countermeasures are imposed upon the contractor by a GCA,

    shall be recoverable by direct charge to the applicable contract.

    The GCA should provide TEMPEST shielding and shielded equipments

    GFE when such extreme countermeasures are deemed essential to the

    protection of the information being processed.

    Section 2. Defense Technical Information Center

    11-200. General.

    The DoD operates certain activities to assist individuals and

    organizations in gaining access to scientific and technical

    information (STI) describing planned or on-going RDT&E efforts of

    the DoD.

    a.   The Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) is the central

    point within DoD for acquiring, storing, retrieving, and

    disseminating STI to support the management and conduct of DoD

    research, development, engineering, and study programs.

    b.   DTIC is under the operational control of the Under Secretary

    of Defense for Acquisition and Technology. Its main facility is

    located at Cameron Station, Alexandria, VA. Other DTIC sites serve

    localized communities and special research interests through remote

    online service facilities.

    11-202. User Community.

    DTIC services are available to the DoD and its contractors and to

    other U.S. Government organizations and their contractors.

    Contractors may also become eligible for services under the Defense

    Potential Contractors Program.

    11-203. Registration Process.

    All users are required to register for service. Registration, which

    is free, generally involves completing two forms which are

    available from DTIC as part of a registration kit.

    a.   DD Form 1540, "Registration for Scientific and Technical

    Information Services." This form shall be completed for each

    contract that authorizes use of DTIC services. This authorization

    is included in the Contract Security Classification Specification.

    The DD Form 1540 is submitted to DTIC through the sponsoring GCA

    for certification and approval. If a subcontract is involved, the

    DD Form 1540 is submitted through the prime contractor. The DD Form

    1540 remains in force until completion of the classified contract

    or subcontract.

    b.   DD Form 2345, Militarily Critical Technical Data Agreement.

    Qualified contractors are eligible for access to militarily

    critical technical data after certification with Defense Logistics

    Services Center (DLSC) by completing the DD Form 2345. This DLSC

    certification is supplementary to registration with the DTIC. Upon

    certification with DLSC, the user also may be eligible for access

    to unclassified, militarily critical technical data from other DoD

    sources. All security criteria, including the need for a facility

    clearance, still must be met for the user to have access to the

    Defense RDT&E Online System (DROLS) or to obtain classified

    material.

    11-204. Safeguarding Requirements.

    Classified information acquired from DTIC shall be safeguarded in

    accordance with the requirements of this Manual and with any

    restrictions that are marked on the material itself. The specific

    contract number that authorized the contractor access to the

    information shall be placed on each classified document. When the

    contract to which the DD Form 1540 applies is completed or

    terminated, the contractor shall either destroy or request

    retention for the material.

    11-205. DTIC Downgrading or Declassification Notices.

    DTIC remarks downgraded or declassified paper documents to reflect

    such action only on the front and back covers and the title, first,

    and back pages. It is the responsibility of the recipient to

    complete any remarking required. Documents originally marked under

    the provisions of previous E.O.s may contain pages that do not bear

    any classification markings. Before extracting or reproducing the

    information from these pages, contractors should direct any

    questions they may have to the originator of the document.

    11-206. Questions Concerning Reference Material.

    Most material made available to contractors by DTIC and other

    distribution agencies is "reference material" as defined by this

    Manual. Therefore, the GCA that authorized the services of DTIC

    under a specific contract may not be in a position to provide the

    contractor with classification guidance for the reference material.

    Classification jurisdiction always is the responsibility of the

    originating agency, or its successor, not necessarily the

    authorizing GCA. When a contractor requires classification guidance

    for reference material to prepare guidance for a subcontract or for

    other reasons and needs assistance in identifying the responsible

    department or agency, the CSA should be consulted.

    11-207. Subcontracts.

    If a contractor awards a subcontract, that authorizes the

    subcontractor to use the services of DTIC and is expected to

    require access only to classified reference material, the Contract

    Security Classification Specification issued to the subcontractor

    shall show the highest category of classification required and a

    statement similar to the following: "Information extracted from

    classified reference material shall be classified according to the

    markings on such material. The DD Form 1540 prepared under this

    subcontract shall be forwarded through (name of prime contractor)."

    Section 3. Independent Research and Development Efforts

    11-300. General.

    This Section provides special procedures and requirements necessary

    for safeguarding classified information when it is incorporated in

    contractors independent research and development (IR&D) efforts.

    11-301. Limitations.

    Contractors frequently must use classified information in their

    IR&D efforts to effectively explore technological advancements and

    state-of-the-art improvements.

    a.   Contractors are generally precluded from disclosing classified

    information to other cleared contractors in connection with an IR&D

    effort without the prior written approval of the agency that has

    jurisdiction over the information or the agency that provided the

    information to the contractor.

    b.   DoD contractors shall not release or disclose classified

    information, under the jurisdiction of a non-DoD Agency to other

    cleared contractors in connection with an IR&D effort without the

    written approval of the non-DoD Agency.

    c.   DoD cleared contractors may disclose SECRET and CONFIDENTIAL

    information, under the jurisdiction of a DoD contracting activity,

    to other DoD cleared contractors in connection with an IR&D effort

    unless specifically prohibited by the DoD in a Contract Security

    Classification Specification or other written notification.

    11-302. Information Generated Under an IR&D Effort that

    Incorporates Classified Information.

    Under E.O. 12356, information that is in substance the same as

    information currently classified, requires a derivative

    classification. Therefore, information in a contractor's IR&D

    effort will require a derivative classification.

    11-303. Classification Guidance.

    The releasing contractor may extract guidance appropriate for the

    IR&D effort from:

    a.   An existing Contract Security Classification Specification

    that was previously furnished by a GCA in connection with

    performance of a classified contract;

    b.   A final Contract Security Classification Specification that

    was issued in connection with retention of classified documents

    under a completed contract;

    c.   A security classification guide obtained from DTIC;

    d.   A classified source document.

    NOTE: The Department of Defense "Index of Security Classification

    Guides," and many of the listed security classification guides, are

    available to contractors who are registered with the DTIC.

    Contractors are encouraged to use the Index and the listed guides

    to obtain up-to-date security guidance for the classified

    information involved when developing guidance appropriate for their

    IR&D efforts.

    11-304. Preparation of Security Guidance.

    Contractors shall use the Contract Security Classification

    Specification to provide security guidance for the classified

    information released in their IR&D efforts.

    11-305. Retention of Classified Documents Generated Under IR&D

    Efforts.

    Contractors may retain the classified documents that were generated

    in connection with their classified IR&D efforts for the duration

    of their facility clearance provided they have proper storage

    capability. Documents shall be clearly identified as "IR&D

    DOCUMENTS." A contractor's facility clearance will not be continued

    solely for the purpose of retention of classified IR&D documents

    without specific retention authorization from the GCA that has

    jurisdiction over the classified information contained in such

    documents. Contractors shall establish procedures for review of

    their IR&D DOCUMENTS on a recurring basis to reduce their

    classified inventory to the minimum necessary.
