When technical reports are properly marked with appropriate distribution statements, it provides immediate authority to deny the FOIA requests. Anything or anybody can request information under the FOIA, even foreign nationals. Distribution statements apply to both classified and unclassified technical data. This is a list of distribution statements that are authorized to use on documents containing technical data. Remember, anything proposed for public release must first be reviewed by the Public Affairs Office.
Distribution is unlimited.
Documents with distribution statements must also have destruction notices assigned. We cannot throw technical data in the regular trash. It must be shredded. Distribution statements are placed on the front cover of the document. Questions may be directed to to Brenda Turner, 955-5468.
