[Delegation of Authority No. 393]


Classification Authority Acting Under the Direction of the Senior 
Agency Official

    By virtue of the authority vested in me as the Senior Agency 
Official designated under Section 5.4 of the Executive Order on 
Classified National Security Information (E.O. 13526), and by authority 
delegated to me by the Secretary of State pursuant to Delegation of 
Authority 198, dated September 16, 1992, I hereby authorize and direct 
the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Global Information Services (DAS for 
A/GIS) and the Director of Information Programs and Services (A/GIS/
IPS), to classify or reclassify information consistent with the 
circumstances and procedures described in section 1.7(d) of E.O. 13526.
    This authority delegated herein may be re-delegated, to the extent 
consistent with law. The Under Secretary for Management and the 
Assistant Secretary for Administration will approve any such re-
delegation of authority.
    As prescribed in section 1.7(d), this authority shall be exercised 
on a document-by-document basis only as to information that has not 
been previously released to the public under proper authority, and only 
if such classification meets the requirements of E.O. 13526. The 
official exercising this authority shall do so under the direction of 
the Under Secretary for Management.
    Any actions related to the functions described herein that may have 
been taken prior to the date of this delegation are hereby confirmed 
and ratified. Such actions shall remain in force as if taken under this 
delegation of authority, unless or until such actions are rescinded, 
amended, or superseded.
    This delegation of authority supersedes the notice of the same 
title, published on February 12, 1999 (64 FR 7227). This document shall 
be published in the Federal Register.

    Dated: March 10, 2016.
Patrick F. Kennedy,
Under Secretary for Management.
