The Department of Energy grants two types of
personnel clearances, L and Q, for access to classified
information that includes Restricted Data. These
clearances are not required by Navy personnel, provided
they have been cleared for access to classified
information at least equal to the classification category
of the Restricted Data involved.
For further information concerning clearances for
and issuance of Restricted Data or Formerly Restricted
Data, refer to OPNAV instruction 5510.1.
Q9. The Navy Information and Personnel Security
Program consists of what three information
categories?
HANDLING CLASSIFIED
INFORMATION
Each individual in the naval establishment must
take every precaution to prevent deliberate or casual
access to classified information by unauthorized
persons. Some of the precautions to be taken are listed
in the following paragraphs:
When classified documents are removed from
stowage for working purposes, they must be kept
facedown or covered when not in use.
Visitors not authorized access to particular
classified information within a working space will be
received or interviewed in specially arranged reception
rooms or areas.
Classified information will not be discussed over
the telephone. Telephone scrambling devices do not
assure security.
Preliminary drafts, carbon sheets, plates,
stencils, stenographic notes, work sheets, and all similar
items containing classified information will be either
destroyed by the person responsible for their production
immediately after the material has served its purpose or
given the same classification and safeguarded in the
same manner as the classified information produced
from the material.
Classified material, upon receipt, must be opened
by the addressee or by persons specifically authorized
by the addressee to open material of the classification
involved.
If, for any reason, an office is vacated during
working hours, the classified material therein will be
stowed in the prescribed manner as if it were after
working hours.
TRANSMISSION OF CLASSIFIED
INFORMATION
By executive order, Secret and Confidential
material may be transmitted outside CONUS by USPS
registered mail through Army, Navy, or Air Force
postal facilities, provided that the material does not at
any time pass out of U.S. Government control and does
not pass through a foreign postal system. Secret and
Confidential material may be transmitted between the
U n i t e d S t a t e s a n d / o r C a n a d i a n G o v e r n m e nt
installations in the United States, Canada, and Alaska,
by United States and Canadian registered mail with a
return receipt. Only closed pouches or jackets of
registered U.S. mail may be transported between U.S.
activities and overseas military post offices (MPOs).
(See fig. 2-5.)
Closed pouches or jackets of registered U.S. mail,
bearing an APO, FPO, or a CONUS address, maybe
transported between U.S. activities by Canadian
military or Canadian civil postal facilities without the
individual requests for return receipt as required in the
case of registered mail containing classified material
addressed to Canadian geographic (international)
addresses.
All classified material that is mailed at U.S. MPOs
outside CONUS must be registered. All classified
material that is mailed at post offices in CONUS
addressed to an APO or FPO address will also be
registered, since originators cannot know in the case
of mobile units whether or not retransmission outside
CONUS maybe required.
Q 1 0 . Y o u a r e m a i l i n g a d o c u m e n t m a r k ed
Confidential from the Commander Naval Base,
Norfolk, VA, to a ship with an FPO, AP address.
What special category of mail should you use for
this purpose?
Preparation of Packages for
Transmission
Except for transmission locally within a ship or
office, classified matter being mailed must be enclosed
in opaque double-sealed containers or envelopes to
minimize the possibility of compromise. Commands
provide for the stocking of several sizes of cardboard
containers, corrugated paper, and kraft tape laminated
with asphalt and containing rayon fibers (snake tape),
or nylon sensitive tape. COs will require the inspection
of bulky packages to decide whether the material is
