Financial Data Classification: General Monetary Information

The United States Government employs banner markings to classify information that falls under the jurisdiction of various authorities. These markings are used to ensure the proper handling of sensitive but unclassified information according to federal regulations.

One such banner marking is CUI//SP-FNC, which is associated with the Safeguarding and/or Dissemination Authority for sections such as 12 USC 3412(a), 18 USC 1906, and 31 USC 5318(g)(2)(A)(ii). These authorities are primarily concerned with U.S. government agencies handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) related to function-specific sensitive information, including defense, intelligence, and security agencies. These authorities are also subject to sanctions, as per 12 USC 3417 and 12 USC 3418, and civil, criminal penalties, and additional provisions, as applicable.

Another banner marking is CUI//FNC, which is the alternative marking for basic authorities. The Safeguarding and/or Dissemination Authority for 5 USC Appendix 107(a) falls under this category, as does the authority for 12 USC 5322(d)(5)(A) and 31 CFR 800.702(a). These authorities are related to duties, transactions, or matters under the jurisdiction of financial institutions or U.S. Government fiscal functions.

The standard banner marking for basic authorities is simply CUI. This marking may also be used for customer information held by a financial institution or for other purposes related to financial institutions.

It is important to note that the category description for the CUI//SP-FNC marking includes customer information held by a financial institution. The category marking for this banner is FNC.

The authorities and banner markings discussed here are used to classify information related to the duties, transactions, or matters under the purview of the specified authorities. This helps to maintain the security and integrity of sensitive information within the U.S. Government and its financial institutions.
