What is an action related to classified information that does not integrate derivative classification practices?

Simply copying documents is an action that does not integrate derivative classification practices because it involves the reproduction of existing classified material without adding new information or context that would require re-evaluation of the classification. In derivative classification, the focus is on ensuring that any new creation of information takes into account the original classification guidance and employs it properly for labeling and handling.

In contrast, modifying existing classified information involves changing, updating, or interpreting classified content, which necessitates a thorough understanding of the original classification to maintain compliance. Extracting relevant details for reviews requires careful judgment about the classification implications of those details. Preparing classified briefings requires the individual to apply derivative classification principles to synthesize or distill information while adhering to classification guidelines. Each of these activities engages derivative classification practices, while simple copying does not contribute to either the creation or alteration of classified content.
