quotingWhat is Prepublication Review?
nevent1q…029e
Prepublication review is the process to determine that information proposed for public release contains no protected information and is consistent with established NSA, DOD, and IC policies. Protected information is classified, in the process of a classification determination, or unclassified, but protected by statute.
Department of Defense Instruction 5230.29, "Security and Policy Review of DoD Information for Public Release" requires that only FULL and FINAL material proposed for release into the public domain be submitted to NSA for review. Partial information (drafts) cannot be accepted.
REMINDER: Official NSA Information appearing in the public domain shall not be considered automatically UNCLASSIFIED or approved for public release. Information remains classified and must be protected until the U.S. government official with Original Classification Authority (OCA) declassifies the information.
Why Perform Prepublication Review?
All NSA affiliates sign a non-disclosure agreement which binds them to these lifetime obligations:
Safeguarding protected information
Prepublication Review
Reporting unauthorized disclosures of protected information
An NSA affiliate is any person employed by, detailed to or assigned to NSA, including members of the U.S. Armed Forces; an expert or consultant to NSA; an industrial or commercial contractor, licensee, certificate holder, or grantee of NSA to include all subcontractors; a personal services contractor; or any other category of person who acts for or on behalf of NSA as determined by the DIRNSA/CHCSS.
All NSA affiliates are subject to NSA/CSS Policy 1-30, which sets forth the policy, procedures, and responsibilities governing the prepublication review of official NSA information intended for public release. This policy helps to manage the risk of inadvertent disclosure of protected information.
What Should Be Reviewed?
Official NSA Information comprises any DoD or IC information that is in the custody and control of NSA and was obtained for or generated on NSA's behalf during the course of employment or other service, whether contractual or not, with NSA.
Examples include the following:
Articles (Newspapers, Magazines, Professional Journals, On-line)
Books (non-fiction and fiction - such as spy novels)
Book reviews
Conference Briefings
Internet postings
Letters of Recommendation
Press Releases (e.g. those released by NSA or NSA contractors, but also wedding announcements and obituaries)
Research Papers
Resumes, cover letters, biographies, and Curricula Vitae
Speeches
