Recommend moving this article to a new "Controlled Unclassified Information" (CUI) article per the new blanket designation. SBU is now an obsolete term. Landarski (talk) 19:13, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Might not hurt, but I'd personally rather wait until the term is widely used. Is there evidence of multiple agencies switching over to the new designation in practice/on actual documents? MrZaius^talk 01:30, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Landarski. Wide use does not define encyclopedic value, especially wrt government policy/doctrine. Not sure how to do it, but recommend just making it so that when someone enters Sensitive but unclassified they end up on CUI, and then mention that SBU is no longer appropriate per reference "xyz". That's my $.02. regards, Warren Fish (talk) 03:19, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As of 24 February 2012, within the U.S. DoD the designation SBU is now officially obsolete. CUI is the only appropriate designation for official U.S. DoD Unclassified information which may be withheld from release to the general public. This is enshrined in DoDM 5200.01 (four volumes) which was published on 24 February 2012 by the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence (USD(I)). All four volumes of DoDM 5200.01 are, per document marking, approved for public release. They can all be found at the DTIC public issuances website[1]]. Volume 4 is the primary source for CUI markings. Volume 1 provides the background information. Volume 2 contains a bit of CUI guidance. The rest are primarily for Classified informaiton. Anyone regularly handling DoD information in general is required to have mastery of this manual and annual training is prescribed therein. NB: SBU is officially invalid for DoD information, but SBU is still used by the Department of State. DoD components will acknowledge, respect, and maintain markings used by other official U.S. Government organizations. casual disregard (talk) 00:28, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification: this information ONLY applies to U.S. DoD information! DoD has no purview over information generated and controlled 100% by other U.S. Government organizations. And once more, DoD components will acknowledge, respect, and maintain markings used by other official U.S. Government organizations. U.S. DoD will also acknowledge, respect, and maintain markings used by Foreign Governments. It's all in DoDM 5200.01! Read it, know it, embrace it, love it! casual disregard (talk) 01:03, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unless the images of U/FOUO documents are overstamped as being released for public dissemination, or some other document is issued rescinding the FOUO status of these documents they should be removed. Whether they were taken from another public website or not does not negate the fact that these documents ARE marked FOUO. These documents are NOT for public consumption. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.249.2.42 (talk) 07:13, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So how does U//FOUO compare to Confidential info?

Confidential is considered a level of classification (the lowest level). U//FOUO is considered unclassified, but is supposed to be treated like Confidential info. So then what exactly is the difference? What is allowed with U//FOUO that is not allowed Confidential info? What about U//LES? Is this just another name for U//FOUO, or does it have its own set of rules (and if so, what are those)? Animedude5555 (talk) 23:07, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Only information which falls under an exemption of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) can be marked “For Official Use Only” (FOUO), whereas any information that would cause "damage" (not serious or exceptionally grave [S or TS]) is confidential. See pages 5 and 41 of the reference document. ^[1] -Ayeroxor (talk) 19:09, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This looks more like a descriptive list rather than a Wikipedia article.
