OSY offers security and emergency management training in person and online. Course examples include the following. 

Counter Threat Awareness Training (CTAT)

Initial National Security Information (NSI) Briefing and Annual Refresher Training

Proper handling, disseminating, safeguarding, and storage of NSI.

Original Classification Authority (OCA) Training

Information related to one of the categories of information identified by Executive Order 13526, the loss or unauthorized disclosure of which has been determined, would damage the United States’ national security. Such information may only be classified by an individual who, by position, has been designated an OCA. An OCA must complete training annually to perform the function.

Location: In-person

Security Debriefing

As clearances belong to a position, not the employee, employees separating from the Department of Commerce for any reason—e.g., retirement, resigning, or transitioning to a new Department or Agency—must receive a security debriefing and endorse the Security Debriefing Acknowledgement portion of the Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement or SF 312.

Location: In-person at HCHB on Fridays at 1:00 p.m. Personnel not located at the HCHB should contact their Field Security Office.
