§ 60.1 Authority and scope.

Executive Order 12065, dated June 28, 1978 (43 FR 28949, July 3, 1978) and Directive No. 1 of the information Security Oversight Office, approved by the National Security Council on September 29, 1978 (43 FR 46280, October 5, 1978), set forth the uniform

standards for the identification, classification, downgrading, declassification, and the safeguarding of security information affecting the national defense and foreign relations of the United States (collectively termed "national security" in this part). The regulations contained in this part are adopted pursuant to that Executive order (which became effective December 1, 1978) and implement its provisions within the Panama Canal Commission (referred to in this part as "the Commission").

No other categories of classification shall be used to identify such information except as otherwise expressly provided by statute. If there is reasonable doubt which designation is appropriate or whether the information should be classified at all, the less restrictive designation should be used, or the information should not be classified.

(b) "Top Secret". Information, the unauthorized disclosure of which reasonably could be expected to cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security, should be classified as "Top Secret." The Commission does not have authority to originally classify information as "Top Secret."

(c) "Secret". Information, the unauthorized disclosure of which reasonably could be expected to cause serious damage to the national security, should be classified as "Secret."

(d) "Confidential". Information, the unauthorized disclosure of which reasonably could be expected to cause identifiable damage to the national security, should be classified as "Confidential."
