Welcomed Guidance: DoD Issues Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) Program Instructions
Client Alert | 1 min read | 03.31.20
The Defense Department (DoD) recently released Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 5200.48, “Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI),” which provides the DoD’s long-anticipated guidance on how to mark and handle CUI in accordance with the Federal Government’s broader CUI Program and DFARS 252.204-7012. In doing so, it cancels legacy CUI guidance under DoD Manual 5200.01, Volume 4, “DoD Information Security Program: Controlled Unclassified Information.”
Notably, DoDI 5200.48 unveils the official DoD CUI Registry. Although public access is currently restricted, the DoD CUI Registry is intended to provide an official list of Indexes and Categories that the DoD will immediately begin using to affirmatively identify CUI provided to its contractors, potentially clarifying what has been a common source of confusion for the contracting community.
DoDI 5200.48 is part of the DoD’s “phased” approach to fully implementing its CUI Program, and it notes throughout that additional guidance will be forthcoming.

The U.S. Department of Labor (“DOL”) has now introduced new guidance, consistent with earlier Republican iterations, while rejecting the 2024 Democratic formulation. It remains to be seen whether the courts will give DOL much deference in this area.
