under an express or implied understanding that the information will be protected as a

proprietary trade secret or proprietary data believed to have actual or potential value.

This marking may be used on government proprietary information only when the

government proprietary information can provide a contractor(s) an unfair advantage,

such as US Government budget or financial information.

(U) Further Guidance:

Trade Secrets Act (18 USC 1905)

(U) Notes:

May be used with TOP SECRET, SECRET, CONFIDENTIAL or UNCLASSIFIED.

May not be disseminated outside the Federal Government in any form without

the express permission of the originator of the intelligence and provider of the

UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

(U) Notes:

May be used only with TOP SECRET, SECRET, or CONFIDENTIAL.

Cannot be used with NOFORN or EYES ONLY within the banner line.

May be used with RELIDO.

Further foreign dissemination of the material (in any form) is authorized only

after obtaining permission from the originator and in accordance with DCID

6/7 and NDP-1.

When a document contains both NF and REL TO portions, NOFORN takes

precedence for the markings within the banner line.

When a document contains a mixture of REL TO and EYES ONLY portions,

REL TO takes precedence and common country(ies) listed. If no common

country(ies), the result is NOFORN in the banner line.

For a mixture of uncaveated portions and portions marked with REL TO, the

result is NOFORN (most restrictive) in the banner line.

When all portions are marked with REL TO and there is no common country -

the result is NOFORN in the banner line.

Countries are represented with ISO 3166 trigraphic codes. ISO 3166 country

codes can be obtained from the World Wide Web.

International organizations authorized for use with the REL TO marking are

listed in the Register, Annex A - Tetragraph Table.

When the use of “REL TO” is appropriate, must include country code "USA" as

the first country code listed in the REL TO string for US documents. After

USA, ISO 3166 country trigraphic codes shall be listed in alphabetical order

followed by tetragraph codes listed in alphabetical order. Each code is

separated by a comma and a space. USA is required to be listed first when

the REL TO string is invoked for automated decision making in systems, thus

ensuring transmission to US citizens who meet the criteria of any other

caveats.

Country trigraphic codes/tetragraph codes are followed by a single forward

slash if more dissemination control(s) follow, or a double forward slash if Non-

IC Dissemination Control Marking(s) follow. If no markings follow, then no text

or separating characters follow the last country code/tetragraph code.

(U) Note: REL TO with an overlap in the country lists, roll-up to the most

(U) Marking Sponsor/Policy Basis:

Section 103 (c)(5)

(U) Definition:

RELIDO is a dissemination marking that may be applied to intelligence information to

indicate that the originator has authorized a Designated Intelligence Disclosure Officials

(DIDO) to make further sharing decisions for uncaveated intelligence material

(intelligence with no restrictive dissemination controls) in accordance with the existing

procedures in DCID 8 Policy Memo 1 and DCID 6/7.

(U) Further Guidance:

DCID 8 Series Policy Memoranda 1, dated 06/09/2005

(U) Notes:

Applies to intelligence information only.

Authorizes only DIDOs to further release material without consulting originator.

(U) Another Notional Example Page:

SECRET//RELIDO

(S//RELIDO) This is the portion marking for a portion which is classified SECRET

which the originator has determined is RELEASABLE BY INFORMATION

DISCLOSURE OFFICIAL. This marking has exactly the same effect as uncaveated

secret, but explicitly states that a DIDO may release the material. This portion is

marked for training purposes only.

(S//REL TO USA, AUS, CAN/RELIDO) This is the portion marking for a portion

which is classified SECRET in which the originator has made a release decision for

the listed countries.

(U) Note: RELIDO indicates that the originator has authorized DIDOs to make

further sharing decisions in accordance with the existing procedures for uncaveated

intelligence material. Redaction of the “REL TO” designators by the DIDO may be

required before the material is released in accordance with existing guidance. This

portion is marked for training purposes only.

(U) Note: The reason the RELIDO marking is carried forward to the overall

classification is because it is stated throughout all portions. Australia and Canada

cannot be applied to the overall classification of the document, because a positive

release decision has not been made for portion 1. NOFORN would not be added

because RELIDO removes the limited exception to NOFORN in portions 1 and 2.

The overall classification still allows further release by a DIDO IAW existing sharing
