Special Access Programs SAPs in the U.S. Federal Government are security protocols that provide highly classified information with safeguards and access restrictions that exceed those for regular collateral classified information. SAPs can range from black projects to routine but especially-sensitive operations such as COMSEC maintenance or Presidential transportation support. In addition to collateral controls a SAP may impose more stringent investigative or adjudicative requirements specialized nondisclosure agreements special terminology or markings exclusion from standard contract investigations carve-outs and centralized billet systems. Within the Department of Defense SAP is better known as "SAR" by the mandatory Special Access Required SAR markings. Two types of SAP exist—acknowledged and unacknowledged. The existence of an acknowledged SAP may be publicly disclosed but the details of the program remain classified. An unacknowledged SAP or USAP is made known only to authorized persons including members of the appropriate committees of the United States Congress. Waived SAPs are a subset of unacknowledged SAPs in the Department of Defense. These SAPs are exempt by statutory authority of the Secretary of Defense from most reporting requirements and within the legislative branch the only persons who are required to be informed of said SAPs are the chairpersons and ranking committee members of the Senate Appropriations Committee Senate Armed Services Committee House Appropriations Committee and the House Armed Services Committee. Oftentimes this notification is only oral. A SAP can only be initiated modified and terminated within their department or agency; the Secretary of State Secretary of Defense Secretary of Energy Secretary of Homeland Security the Attorney General the Director of National Intelligence; their principal deputies e.g. the Deputy Secretary of State in DoS and the Deputy Secretary of Defense in DoD; or others designated in writing by the President. These offices are better known as 'classification authorities.' They retain the right to declassify or revise classification levels. National Nuclear Security Administration unknown
