The Secretary must preserve the security classification of scientific and technical information, data, patents, inventions, and discoveries in the Commerce Department when the President or a designee certifies that classification is essential to national defense. This chapter does not change other national-defense or security classification laws.
Despite other provisions of this chapter, the Secretary must respect and preserve the security classification of scientific or technical information, data, patents, inventions, or discoveries in, or coming into, the Commerce Department’s possession or control when the President or a designee certifies that the classification is essential to national defense. Nothing in this chapter changes or limits another statute about classifying information for national-defense or security reasons.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the Secretary shall respect and preserve the security classification of any scientific or technical information, data, patents, inventions, or discoveries in, or coming into, the possession or control of the Department of Commerce, the classified status of which the President or his designee or designees certify as being essential in the interest of national defense, and nothing in this chapter shall be construed as modifying or limiting any other statute relating to the classification of information for reasons of national defense or security.
