If the classifying agency does not respond fully to a classification challenge within 120 days, what can you do?

  1. Resubmit the challenge

  2. Withdraw the challenge

  3. Forward the challenge to ISCAP

  4. Classify the information independently

The correct answer is: Forward the challenge to ISCAP

The option to forward the challenge to the Interagency Security Classification Appeals Panel (ISCAP) is the appropriate course of action if the classifying agency does not respond fully within the specified 120 days. This procedure ensures that there is an independent entity that can review the classification challenge and address situations where the original agency fails to respond adequately. ISCAP provides a mechanism to ensure oversight and accountability within the classification process. If the initial agency does not process the challenge, forwarding it to ISCAP allows for a higher level of scrutiny and helps ensure that the principles of classification and declassification are upheld, promoting transparency and proper handling of classified information. Taking this step can effectively escalate the issue and prompt a necessary resolution while ensuring that the classification authority remains compliant with established protocols.
