The Department of Energy (DOE) proposes to revise its rule concerning the requirements for classification and declassification of Restricted Data (RD) and Formerly Restricted Data (FRD). Since 1997, when DOE issued the rule, changes in legislation and DOE and national policies have rendered portions of the existing rule outdated. This proposed rule is rewritten in plain language and reorganized for ease of use. The proposed revisions update the rule to address these changes. Additional changes made are to clarify requirements as well as allow agencies more flexibility in implementing RD/FRD programs.
