Message from the Senior Agency Official
I am pleased to forward the Department of Energy¡¯s National Security Information (NSI)
Fundamental Classification Guidance Review (FCGR) report. In this report, the Department
provides the results of its 2017 FCGR and shows how this review was a continuation of efforts
begun in 2012 when DOE completed its first FCGR. While work on NSI classification guidance
is never finished, as new national security programs emerge and others are shut down, we
believe the Department has significantly enhanced the clarity and accuracy of its NSI
classification guidance. As a result of these reviews, improved classification guidance will result
in improved derivative classification and declassification decisions and decrease unintentional
over-classification. The Department will continue to improve its process of protecting the
Nation¡¯s NSI under its purview in a manner consistent with Executive Order 13526.
I appreciate the opportunity to further the Government¡¯s goals for greater openness while
protecting national security interests. If you have questions or need additional information,
please contact the Director, Office of Technical Guidance within the Office of Classification,
Edith Chalk, at (301) 903-1185. My office will post a copy of this report at
.
Sincerely,
C.

Executive Summary
On March 17, 2016, the Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) provided guidance
concerning the FY 2017 Fundamental Classification Guidance Review (FCGR). From
March 2016 to June 2017, DOE revalidated the recommendations from its first FCGR completed
in 2012. DOE also reviewed all the new classification guidance issued since the 2012 report.
DOE validated over 1,600 NSI classification topics and verified that its classification guidance:
?
?
?
conforms to current operational and technical circumstances,
meets the standards for classification under Executive Order (E.O.) 13526, and
meets their intent as written.
Major highlights of this review include:
?
?
?
?
a 20 percent decrease in the total number of NSI topics,
a 27 percent decrease in the total number of topics with exempt declassification
instructions,
a 32 percent decrease in the number of event-based declassification instructions, and
a 23 percent increase in the number of duration-based declassification instructions.
See Appendix A for more detailed results.
In addition, the Department reviewed and revised CG-HR-4, Historical Records Declassification
Guide. This guide provides updated guidance for DOE systematic reviews of historical record
collections for declassification and identifies all DOE information exempt from automatic
declassification at 25- or 50-year durations.
