§ 159a.29 - Miscellaneous.

(a) Notification of Changes in Declassification. When clasified material has been properly marked with specific dates or events for declassification, it is not necessary to issue notices of declassification to any holders. However, when declassification action is taken earlier than originally scheduled, or the duration of classification is extended, the authority making such changes shall ensure prompt notification of all holders to whom the information was originally transmitted. The notification shall specify the marking action to be taken, the authority therefor, and the effective date. Upon receipt of notification, recipients shall effect the proper changes and shall notify holders to whom they have transmitted the classified information. See § 159a.34 (a) and (e) for markings and the use of posted notices.

(b) Foreign Relations Series. In order to permit the State Department editors of Foriegn Relations of the United States to meet their mandated goal of publishing twenty years after the event, DoD Components shall assist the editors in the Department of State by easing access to appropriate classified materials in their custody and by expediting declassification review of items from their files selected for possible publication.

(c) Reproduction for Declassification Review. The provisions of § 159a.55(f) shall not restrict the reproduction of documents for the purpose of facilitating declassification review under the provisions of this subpart or the Freedom of Information Act, as amended. After review for declassification, however, those reproduced documents that remain classified must be destroyed in accordance with subpart J of this part.
