Common use of Secure Location Clause in Contracts

Secure Location. Any in camera proceeding—includ- ing, but not limited to, a pretrial conference, motion hearing, status hearing, suppression hearing, substi- tution hearing, or appellate proceeding—concerning the use, relevance, or admissibility of classified infor- mation must be held in a secure location recommended by the classified information security officer and ap- proved by the court. The secure location must be within the federal court- house, unless it is determined that no available loca- tion in the courthouse meets, or can reasonably be adapted to meet, the security requirements of the Ex- ecutive Branch applicable to the level and category of classified information involved. In the event that no suitable location exists within the courthouse, upon recommendation by the classified information security officer, the court will designate another United States Government facility located within the vicinity of the courthouse, as the secure location. The classified information security officer must make necessary arrangements to ensure that the secu- rity requirements of the Executive Branch applicable to the level and category of classified information in- volved are met and must conduct or arrange for such inspection of the secure location as may be necessary. The classified information security officer must, in consultation with the United States Marshal, arrange for the installation of security devices and take such other measures as may be necessary to protect against any unauthorized access to or disclosure of classified information. All of the aforementioned activities must be conducted in a manner that does not interfere with the orderly proceedings of the court. Prior to any hear- ing or other proceeding, the classified information se- curity officer must certify to the court that the loca- tion to be used is secure.
