D.16.8 Trade Law Enforcement Information Type Trade law enforcement refers to the enforcement of anti-boycott, international loan, and general trade laws. The security categorization recommended for the trade law enforcement information type is as follows: Security Category = {(confidentiality, Moderate), (integrity, Moderate), (availability, Moderate)} The confidentiality impact level is the effect of unauthorized disclosure of trade law enforcement information on the ability of responsible agencies to enforce various Customs laws. Unauthorized disclosure of trade law enforcement information could potentially jeopardize fulfillment of other trade law enforcement missions. Some information that has supported a trade law enforcement process might be of higher sensitivity, and unauthorized disclosure of this information might jeopardize the success of future trade law enforcement processes. The subsequent threat to agency image or reputation can cause a serious adverse effect on an agency's mission capability. Where information includes names of informants, informant contacts, or agency personnel, the effectiveness of those personnel in future enforcement activities can be permanently impaired, or their lives threatened. Intelligence information falls under national security systems. National security information and national security systems are outside the scope of this guideline. Recommended Confidentiality Impact Level: The provisional confidentiality impact level recommended for most trade law enforcement information is moderate. not on the time required to detect the modification or destruction of information. The consequences of unauthorized modification or destruction of trade law enforcement information may depend on whether the information is time-critical. The compromise of trade law enforcement information can be serious or, in some cases, catastrophic if the information is time- critical. Also, the results of trade law enforcement activities may become matters of public record, and thus must be accurately recorded. Special Factors Affecting Integrity Impact Determination: Unauthorized modification or destruction of information affecting trade law enforcement information may adversely affect mission operations and result in unacceptable consequences such as loss of human life. The compromise of trade law enforcement information can be serious or catastrophic if the information is time- critical. This can result in assignment of a high impact level to such information. Recommended Integrity Impact Level: The provisional integrity impact level recommended for most trade law enforcement information is moderate. mission, not on the time required to re-establish access to trade law enforcement information. The effects of disruption of access to trade law enforcement information or information systems can be serious or, in some cases, catastrophic if the information is time-critical. Trade law enforcement missions are typically intolerant of significant time delays. Recommended Availability Impact Level: The provisional availability impact level recommended for most trade law enforcement information is moderate.
