A number of initiatives to improve information sharing have been called for, including the Homeland Security Act of 2002 and in the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004. The 2002 act required the development of policies for sharing classified and sensitive but unclassified homeland security information. The 2004 act called for the development of an Information Sharing Environment for terrorism information. This report examines (1) the status of efforts to establish government-wide information sharing policies and processes and (2) the universe of sensitive but unclassified designations used by the 26 agencies that GAO surveyed and their related policies and procedures. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-385/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-385.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-385/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-385.pdf GAO-06-385 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-385 Other Written Product GAO-06-385; Information Sharing: The Federal Government Needs to Establish Policies and Processes for Sharing Terrorism-Related and Sensitive but Unclassified Information; Classified information Government information Homeland security Information access Information security management Internal controls Standards Strategic planning Terrorism Policies and procedures Information sharing Title 5 Section 552a Title 5 Section 552 Title 5 Appendix 3 5 U.S.C. 552a 5 U.S.C. 552 5 U.S.C.
