Documents containing classified information, including those related to intelligence sources, methods, or activities, must be approved and signed by a cognizant Original Classification Authority (OCA). The OCA is responsible for determining the appropriate classification level and ensuring that the information meets the criteria for classification according to applicable laws and regulations. This approval process ensures that sensitive information is properly safeguarded from unauthorized disclosure. The OCA is also responsible for reviewing and re-evaluating the classification level of documents and ensuring compliance with classification guidelines, helping maintain national security and protect critical intelligence assets.
