Printed page 224 7. Intelligence Community
“Enhanced metrics for accuracy of classification. … A general simplification of the overall system for the benefit of users.”
What has happened
- Not started
No accuracy metrics for classification and no simplification of the classification system were adopted on any allowlisted record. The same searches that cover #590 to #592 were run: Federal Register full-text "Executive Order 13526", "Classified National Security Information", "security classification guides" and "Original Classification Authority" since 2025-01-20, plus the enrolled text of P.L. 119-60. The three-level system of Executive Order 13526 stands unchanged.
