Required markings are: (1) The overall classification of the document. (2) The agency, office of origin, and date of the document. (3) Identification of the source(s) of classification of the information contained in the document and, for originally classified information, a concise reason for classification.
The three primary levels of classification (from least to greatest) are Confidential, Secret, and Top Secret.
The purpose of marking is to provide required information about classification. This includes alerting the holder to the presence of classified information and specifically identifying what information needs protecting and the level of protection required.
The only changes in the Classification Authority Block are the addition of the name of the OCA responsible for the declassification and the date of declassification. If a Letter of Transmittal does not contain classified information, then no no portion markings or Classification Authority Block are required.
(1) Mark the face of the transmittal document conspicuously, top and bottom, with the highest classification found in it or any of the documents transmitted. (Example: An unclassified transmittal document has one Secret and two Confidential attachments. Mark the face of the transmittal document 'SECRET. ")

The U.S. classification of information system has three classification levels -- Top Secret, Secret, and Confidential -- which are defined in EO 12356.
This Annex to the Government Security Classifications policy (December 2012) describes the physical, personnel and information security controls required to provide a proportionate and robust level of protection for assets at each of the three classification levels (OFFICIAL, SECRET and TOP SECRET).
How will the markings in the classification authority block of a document containing this information change? The OCA responsible for the change as well as the date will be cited. Additionally, the old Declassify On date will be lined through and the new date will appear next to it.
In which order must documents containing classified information be marked? The classification authority block identifies the authority, the source, and the duration of classification determination. Where do the reasons for classifying certain items, elements or categories of information originally come from?
