Common use of Classification Markings Clause in Contracts

Classification Markings. The court security officer, after consultation with the attorney for the govern- ment, shall be responsible for the marking of all court documents containing classified information with the appropriate level of classification and for indicating thereon any special access controls that also appear on the face of the document from which the classified in- formation was obtained or that are otherwise applica- ble. Every document filed by the defendant in the case shall be filed under seal and promptly turned over to the court security officer. The court security officer shall promptly examine the document and, in consulta- tion with the attorney for the government or rep- resentative of the appropriate agency, determine whether it contains classified information. If it is de- termined that the document does contain classified in- formation, the court security officer shall ensure that it is marked with the appropriate classification mark- ing. If it is determined that the document does not con- tain classified information, it shall be unsealed and placed in the public record. Upon the request of the government, the court may direct that any document containing classified information shall thereafter be protected in accordance with § 7 of these procedures.
