¶1.  Drafting Officers are encouraged to use the SIPDIS caption 
only on those cables deemed appropriate for sharing - such as 
cable reporting messages, analytical pieces, and policy 
instructions.   SIPDIS content in the NCD system is available 
to hundreds of thousands of employees and contractors 
throughout the Federal Government.  Accordingly, drafting and 
approving officers should be aware that posting or making 
available personal information of American citizens or lawful 
permanent residents (including Social Security Numbers; 
information concerning employees, such as travel messages, 
performance reports, and medical assessments; and arrest 
reports of American citizens) may violate the Privacy Act 
and/or new federal requirements on safeguarding Personally 
Identifiable Information (PII).  Posting such information also 
is prohibited by Intelink's Terms of Use.  Additional guidance 
on Privacy Act and PII is available on the A Bureau's Home 
Page, Featured Information, click on Privacy Matters, or go to 
http://a.state.gov/content/privacymatters/ind ex.asp. 
¶2.  When the SIPDIS caption is placed on a cable, the message 
is processed by the NCD system and published automatically to 
a post or Department webpage, and to other databases and 
search tools that are available to interagency users on 
SIPRNet.  Older archived cables can also be manually uploaded. 
Currently more than 200 overseas posts are using the SIPDIS 
caption to share information with other agencies.  More than 
120,000 cables dating from 1991 are now in the SIPDIS 
database. 
¶3.  Extension of the SIPDIS caption to cables originating in 
the Department is part of a recent upgrade of the Department's 
NCD system.  This NCD upgrade enables faster response times 
and an improved web interface that allows users to see, at a 
glance, the relative frequency of particular TAGS (Traffic 
Analysis by Geography and Subject) used on cables about a 
subject, or to view all cables with a particular TAGS. 
¶4.  Users can access the NCD cable display on SIPRNet at 
http://ncd.state.sgov.gov as well as on the State SIPRNet Home 
Pages at http://www.state.sgov.gov.  If you cannot access 
these websites via your ClassNet PC, contact your post IT 
staff to properly configure your ClassNet browser.  Questions 
regarding the NCD system or this Department notice should be 
directed to SIPDIS_Help@state.sgov.gov.  Questions related to 
privacy issues should be sent to Privacy-DL@state.gov. 
 
¶5.  Minimize considered.
