Directive pursuant to section 102(b)(1) of Executive Order 12829, as
amended, relating to the National Industrial Security Program. This
order establishes a National Industrial Security Program (NISP) to
safeguard Federal Government classified information that is released to
contractors, licensees, and grantees of the United States Government.
Redundant, overlapping, or unnecessary requirements impede those
interests. Therefore, the NISP serves as the single, integrated,
cohesive industrial security program to protect classified information
and to preserve our Nation's economic and technological interests. This
Directive sets forth guidance to agencies to set uniform standards
throughout the NISP that promote these objectives.
DATED: Effective Date: May 10, 2006.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed rule was published in the
January 27, 2006, Federal Register (71 FR 4541) for a 45-day public

65863). The purpose of this Directive is to assist in implementing the
Order; users of the Directive shall refer concurrently to that Order
for guidance. As of November 17, 1995, ISOO became a part of NARA. The
drafting, coordination, and issuance of this Directive fulfills one of
the responsibilities of the implementation delegated to the ISOO
Director. ISOO maintains oversight over Executive Order 12958, as

the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.), or
the authority of the Director of Central Intelligence under the
National Security Act of 1947, as amended, or Executive Order No. 12333
of December 8, 1981, or the authority of the Director of National
Intelligence under the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act
