Procedures - Reproduction Request
Give this one a try later!

Officer (FSO), should consider requiring that authorized personnel submit a
request form prior to reproducing classified information.

permission to reproduce materials will ensure that all proposed
reproduction is routed through the FSO.
• This process will help to avoid any unnecessary or improper reproduction
of classified materials.
• If your facility decides to use these requests, include it in your Standard
Practice Procedures (SPP), if you have one.
