handling unclassified
information
Federal agencies routinely generate, use, store, and share information that, although does not
meet the standards for Classified National Security Information under Executive Order
13526 of December 29, 2009, is sufficiently sensitive to warrant some level of protection, in
accordance with Executive Order 13556, Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), signed
November 4, 2010. First responders should be aware of the federal handling requirements for
sensitive or CUI to ensure it is used only by those who need it and only for its intended purpose.
Until official implementing instructions and markings are provided by the Information Security
Oversight Office (ISOO) to denote CUI, government agencies shall continue to use dissemination
control markings such as FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY (FOUO), LAW ENFORCEMENT SENSITIVE,
SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED, and OFFICIAL USE ONLY. In many instances the requirements
for safeguarding this information are equivalent; however, these current markings may change
substantially once CUI markings have been developed, approved and adopted for implementation
throughout the Federal Government.
FOUO, per 32 CFR Section 286.15 and CUI, per Executive Order 13556, is information that has
not been given a security classification pursuant to Executive Order 13526-National Security
Information, but which may be witheld from the public because disclosure would cause a
forseeable harm to an interest protected by one or more Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA)
exemptions. FOUO and CUI shall be considered as warranting protection or safeguarding.
