Which marking indicates export control/licensing requirements exist for a foreign release?

• A. REL TO
• B. NOFORN
• C. CUI
• D. CONTROLLED

Answer: (A)

Dissemination controls for foreign disclosure are shown by the REL TO marking. This indicator specifies that the information can be released to particular foreign recipients, and such release is governed by export controls and licensing requirements. In other words, it flags that sharing with foreign persons or entities is allowed only under the appropriate legal permissions, so you must check for the necessary licenses before disclosing. The other markings don’t carry the same implication. NOFORN means the information is not authorized for release to foreign nationals at all, which is the opposite of indicating a license-dependent foreign release. CUI is a broad category label for controlled information and doesn’t specifically address foreign dissemination or licensing. CONTROLLED is a general term for restricted information and also doesn’t directly signal licensing requirements for foreign release.
