Section 141-46-8 - CONTROLLED INVENTORY ITEMS

ITEP test books are normally marked "FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY" (FOUO). Additional testing requirements such as tapes, films, or slides may be marked "CONFIDENTIAL". In all cases, where the safeguarding of ITEP material is required, the following procedures will apply:

a. Security of Test Materials.

(1) Test material marked "FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY" is to be handled as controlled inventory documents IAW AR 340-16. When not in use, these materials will be stored in securely locked containers. Test materials should not be stored with "non-test" materials. Only the TSO and designated representatives will have access to containers used in storing test materials. Unlocked containers will not be left unattended.

(2) Classified test materials marked CONFIDENTIAL will be protected under the provisions of AR 380-5.

b. Access to Test Materials. Access to information contained in classified and FOUO ITEP material will be on a need-to-know basis. Only the TSO, DTSO and those personnel officially appointed to administer tests will have access to these materials.

c. Control of Test Materials. Materials with classified or FOUO markings will be maintained as controlled inventory items.

(1) Shipping/Transfer of Test Materials. DTSO's will receive classified or FOUO test materials by certified mail, return receipt requested. Serial number of materials will be listed on the transfer document. To verify receipt for all test materials shipped, DTSO's will sign the transfer document, and return to TSOH3 within five working days. DTSO's and TSM's will transfer classified or FOUO test materials in like manner.

(2) Disposition of ITEP Materials. Classified or FOUO ITEP materials should be disposed of or destroyed at the end of each test period. Earlier disposition/ destruction is authorized provided testing is completed. If destroyed, sufficient materials will be retained to complete on-demand testing during the test period. Outdated non-FOUO test materials may be distributed to units for training purposes unless instructions have been provided prohibiting distribution. A Certification of Destruction is required for controlled material and will be maintained on file at the unit/ organization where the destruction takes place. DA Form 2496 will be used as Certification of Destruction of FOUO or classified test materials.
