D.25.4 - State loans

State Loans involve all disbursement of funds by the Government to a State or Local Government (or Indian Tribe) entity under a contract that requires the repayment of such funds with or without interest.

The recommended provisional security categorization for the state loan information type is as follows:

Security category

D.25.4 - State loans = {(confidentiality, Low), (integrity, Low), (availability, Low)}

Confidentiality Low

The confidentiality impact level is the effect of unauthorized disclosure of state loan information on the ability of responsible agencies to disburse Federal funds a State or Local Government (or Indian Tribe) entity under a contract that requires the repayment of such funds with or without interest. In most cases, unauthorized disclosure of state loan information will have only a limited adverse effect on agency operations, assets, or individuals. Recommended Confidentiality Impact Level: The provisional confidentiality impact level recommended for state loan 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. Loan assistance activities are not generally time-critical. In most cases, the adverse effects of unauthorized modification or destruction of state loan information on agency mission functions and public confidence in the agency will be limited. Special Factors Affecting Integrity Impact Determination: There are significant differences between the ability to modify a document authorizing a payment and the modification of the payment itself. The unauthorized modification of a document authorizing a payment is less time critical than the modification of the payment itself while the payment is in transit. Modifications to payments in transit will result in immediate inaccurate payments. This can result in assignment of a moderate impact level to such information. Recommended Integrity Impact Level: The provisional integrity impact level recommended for state loan 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 state loan information. Loan assistance processes are generally tolerant of delay. In most cases, disruption of access to state loan information can be expected to have only a limited adverse effect on agency operations, agency assets, or individuals. Recommended Availability Impact Level: The provisional availability impact level recommended for state loan information is low
