Which of the following is NOT a step in derivative classification?

  1. Identifying the classified concepts

  2. Marking the new document according to classification

  3. Making recommendations for others to mark the new document

  4. Evaluating the potential impact of the classification

The correct answer is: Making recommendations for others to mark the new document

Making recommendations for others to mark the new document is not a step in derivative classification. Derivative classification involves the process of analyzing existing classified information to determine if that information can be reused or incorporated into a new document. This includes identifying classified concepts from the original source, marking the new document according to classification guidelines, and evaluating the potential impact of the classification on national security. The key actions focus on the individual's responsibility to correctly identify and apply classification markings, ensuring that newly created documents are aligned with the appropriate security protocols. Recommendations to others regarding how to mark documents fall outside the primary steps of derivative classification, which concentrate on the classifier's own evaluation and application of classification rules to the new material.
