The recommended provisional categorization of the community and regional development information type follows:

Security category

D.10.2 - Community and regional development = {(confidentiality, Low), (integrity, Low), (availability, Low)}

Confidentiality Low

The confidentiality impact level is the effect of unauthorized disclosure of community and regional development information on the ability of responsible agencies to assist communities in preventing and eliminating blight and deterioration, assist economically distressed communities, and encourage and foster economic development through improved public facilities and resources. The consequences of unauthorized disclosure of most community and regional development information would have a limited adverse effect on agency operations, agency assets, or individuals. Special Factors Affecting Confidentiality Impact Determination: Exceptions that might have a potential for more serious consequences are based on privacy information processed in training and employment systems (e.g., information required by the Privacy Act of 1974 or other statutes and executive orders to receive special handling to protect the privacy of individuals). The Privacy Act Information provisional impact levels are documented in the Personal Identity and Authentication information type. Another exception might be unauthorized disclosure of information that gives an individual or corporate entity an unfair competitive advantage in obtaining contracts or other funding for development activities. This can result in assignment of a moderate impact level to such information. Recommended Confidentiality Impact Level: The provisional confidentiality impact level recommended for community and regional development information is low.

Integrity Low

The integrity impact level is based on the specific mission and the data supporting that mission, not on the time required to detect the modification or destruction of information. The consequences of unauthorized modification or destruction of community and regional development information would have, at most, a limited adverse effect on agency operations, agency assets, or individuals. Unauthorized modification or destruction of information affecting external communications (e.g., web pages, electronic mail) may adversely affect operations and/or public confidence in the agency, but the damage to the mission would usually be limited Recommended Integrity Impact Level: The provisional integrity impact level recommended for most community and regional development information is low.

Availability Low

The availability impact level is based on the specific mission and the data supporting that mission, not on the time required to re-establish access to community and regional development information. The effects of disruption of access to most community and regional development information or information systems would have a limited adverse effect on agency operations, agency assets, or individuals. Recommended Availability Impact Level: The provisional availability impact level recommended for community and regional development information is low.
