Preface

P.1 Purpose

a. This directive establishes Agency-wide requirements for the protection of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

b. This directive outlines personnel responsibilities and procedural requirements for the management of CUI to assist NASA Centers and Component Facilities in executing the NASA CUI program designed to protect people, property, and information.

c. This directive establishes Agency procedures for the proper implementation and management of a uniform system for categorizing, safeguarding, and decontrolling CUI generated by, for, or in the possession of NASA.

d. All unclassified information throughout the executive branch that requires any safeguarding or dissemination control is CUI. CUI serves as the exclusive designation for identifying and controlling such unclassified information throughout NASA. All safeguarding or dissemination controls for unclassified information will be consistent with the CUI Program.

P.2 Applicability

a. This directive is applicable to NASA Headquarters and all NASA Centers, including Component Facilities, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) and Technical and Service Support Centers.

b. This directive is applicable to all NASA civil service employees who require access to CUI in the performance of their duties.

c. Consistent with Controlled Unclassified information (CUI), Accessing and Disseminating, 32 CFR § 2002.16; and Chapter 2 of this directive, the requirements of this directive should be made applicable to all individuals and entities with whom NASA shares or intends to share CUI, including:

(1) Government owned, contractor operated (GOCO) facilities;

(2) Partners under the Space Act;

(3) Partners under the Commercial Space Act of 1997;

(4) Partners under cooperative agreements; or

(5) Commercial or university facilities.

d. All document citations in this directive are assumed to be the latest version unless otherwise noted.

e. In this directive, all mandatory actions (i.e., requirements) are denoted by statements containing the term “shall.” The terms: “may” or “can” denote discretionary privilege or permission, “should” denotes a good practice and is recommended, but not required, “"will” denotes expected outcome, and “are/is” denotes descriptive materials.

P.5 Measurement/Verification

a. To determine Center compliance with E.O. 13556, Controlled Unclassified Information, 32 CFR pt. 2002, and this directive, NASA HQ, Mission Directorates, Center Directors, and Center Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) will determine and document compliance through annual self-assessments (see self-inspections at 2.21) and reviews conducted by the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO). Each year OCIO will provide guidance from the CUI Executive Agent to help the Center CUI Liaisons complete the self-inspection process for their organization.

b. The NARA Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO), as the CUI executive agent, maintains continuous relationships with agency counterparts on all matters relating to the CUI Program and 32 CFR pt. 2002. ISOO also conducts on-site assessments to monitor agency compliance. Each year ISOO gathers statistical data regarding each agency’s security classification program. ISOO analyzes and reports this data, along with other relevant information in its Annual Report to the President. NASA follows ISOO guidance and is subject to ISOO inspections and reviews.

c. Internal and external auditors responsible for ensuring Agency compliance and effective implementation of the E.O. 13556 will evaluate the NASA CUI program.
