§ 159a.49 - Compromises involving more than one agency.

(a) Whenever a compromise involves the classified information or interests of more than one DoD Component or other agency, each such activity undertaking a damage assessment shall advise the others of the circumstances and findings that affect their information and interests. Whenever a damage assessment incorporating the product of two or more DoD Components or other agencies is needed, the affected activities shall agree upon the assignment of responsibility for the assessment.

(b) Whenever a compromise of U.S. classified information is the result of actions taken by foreign nationals, by foreign government officials, or by U.S. nationals employed by international organizations, the activity performing the damage assessment shall ensure, through appropriate intergovernmental liaison channels, that information pertinent to the assessment is obtained. Whenever more than one activity is responsible for the assessment, those activities shall coordinate the request prior to transmittal through appropriate channels.
