Secure Quarters. Any in camera proceeding—includ- ing a pretrial conference, motion hearing, or appellate hearing—concerning the use, relevance, or admissibil- ity of classified information, shall be held in secure quarters recommended by the court security officer and approved by the court. The secure quarters shall be located within the Fed- eral courthouse, unless it is determined that none of the quarters available in the courthouse meets, or can reasonably be made equivalent to, security require- ments of the Executive Branch applicable to the level and category of classified information involved. In that event, the court shall designate the facilities of an- other United States Government agency, recommended by the court security officer, which is located within the vicinity of the courthouse, as the site of the pro- ceedings. The court security officer shall make necessary ar- rangements to ensure that the applicable Executive Branch standards are met and shall conduct or arrange for such inspection of the quarters as may be nec- xxxxxx. The court security officer shall, in consultation with the United States Marshal, arrange for the instal- lation of security devices and take such other measures as may be necessary to protect against any unauthor- ized access to classified information. All of the afore- mentioned activity shall be conducted in a manner which does not interfere with the orderly proceedings of the court. Prior to any hearing or other proceeding, the court security officer shall certify in writing to the court that the quarters are secure.
