PURPOSE. Shortly after the President issued Presidential Policy Directive 28 regarding signals intelligence activities (hereinafter "PPD-28"), the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) established a multidisciplinary, interagency working group to discuss a common approach to developing additional appropriate safeguards that protect personal information, recognizing that every Intelligence Community (IC) element has different mission needs and requirements. The resulting policies and procedures reinforce the IC's commitment to protect the personal information of all people around the world, regardless of their nationality. This Commandant Instruction serves to acknowledge and reinforce this commitment within the Coast Guard Intelligence enterprise.
