Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI)

All printed and electronic, including digital, technical documents that are determined to contain Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) shall be marked. This includes, but is not limited to, all publications marked for Distribution Statement B, C, D, or E, or containing export-controlled technical data.

At a minimum, these documents should be marked "CUI" or "CONTROLLED" at the top and bottom of each page/slide, and include a CUI designation indicator at the bottom right of the cover or first page/slide. An example can be found on the Paper template, as well as the first page of the JANNAF Publication Clearance Form. For organization-specific marking guidance, please refer to your security personnel or government sponsor. For additional general marking guidance, please refer to https://www.archives.gov/cui.

NOTE: As policies vary between organizations, ERG staff are unable to provide guidance in your organization's specifications for the appropriate CUI marking for your work.
