D.9.4 - Industry sector income stabilization

Industry Sector Income Stabilization involves all programs and activities devoted to assisting adversely impacted industrial sectors (farming, commercial transportation, etc.) to ensure the continued availability of their services for the American public and the long-term economic stability of these sectors.

The provisional recommended security categorization for the industry sector income stabilization information type is as follows:

Security category

D.9.4 - Industry sector income stabilization = {(confidentiality, Moderate), (integrity, Low), (availability, Low)}

Confidentiality Moderate

The confidentiality impact level is the effect of unauthorized disclosure of industry sector income stabilization information on the ability of responsible agencies to assist adversely impacted industrial sectors (farming, commercial transportation, etc.) to ensure the continued availability of their services for the American public and the long-term economic stability of these sectors. In most cases, unauthorized disclosure of industry sector income stabilization information will have only a limited adverse effect on agency operations, assets, or individuals. However, unauthorized premature disclosure of Federal government plans for industry sector income stabilization actions (e.g., grants or subsidies) as well as of government economic forecasts and commentary preliminary to formulation of plans may result in major financial consequences. Unauthorized and premature disclosure to a single institution (e.g., a major manufacturing institution, a major agribusiness institution, or a commodity brokerage house), could damage confidence in economic stabilization institutions and have a severe adverse effect on public confidence in the government. Recommended Confidentiality Impact Level: The provisional confidentiality impact level recommended for industry sector income stabilization information is moderate.

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. Industry sector income stabilization activities are not generally time-critical. In most cases, the adverse effects of unauthorized modification or destruction of industry sector income stabilization information on agency mission functions and public confidence in the agency will be limited. Recommended Integrity Impact Level: The provisional integrity impact level recommended for industry sector income stabilization 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 industry sector income stabilization information. Industry sector income stabilization processes are generally tolerant of delay. In most cases, disruption of access to industry sector income stabilization 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 industry sector income stabilization information is low.
