SF312 is a contracting agreement between the custodian and the cleared employee stating that the latter agrees to never disclose classified information to an unauthorized person.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. Not applicable

Answer: (B)

SF-312 is the Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement. It binds the employee who has access to classified information to protect that information and not disclose it to unauthorized individuals. The agreement is between the government (the agency) and the employee, not between a custodian and the employee. The custodian has responsibility for safeguarding materials, but SF-312 itself is a contract with the government, formalizing the employee’s duty to keep information confidential. So the statement is false because the parties are not custodian and employee; the agreement is with the government, though it obligates the employee to avoid unauthorized disclosures.
