DHS Lists “Sensitive Security Information” Titles
In an attempt to limit unnecessary controls on unclassified information, Congress last year required the Department of Homeland Security to identify by title all DHS documents that were marked as “Sensitive Security Information” (SSI) that may not be publicly disclosed.
In response, the first DHS report to Congress (pdf) listed approximately one thousand titles that had been marked as SSI between October 1 and December 31, 2005.
A copy of that report has just been released with minor redactions in response to a Freedom of Information Act request from the Federation of American Scientists.
See “Department of Homeland Security Documents Designated in Their Entirety as Sensitive Security Information (SSI), October 1 Thru December 31, 2005” (3.5 MB PDF).
