Who is responsible for assigning the initial security rating of the TODCR?

The initial security rating of the Technical Order Data Change Request (TODCR) is assigned by the originator. This responsibility lies with the person or entity that creates the TODCR, as they have the most comprehensive understanding of the content and its implications regarding security. By establishing the initial security rating, the originator ensures that the information is adequately protected and that appropriate measures are taken to manage sensitive data. This process is vital for maintaining the integrity and security of technical documents associated with aircraft armament systems.

While other roles such as the customer, the Joint Computer-aided Acquisition and Logistics Support, or the reviewing section play important parts in the overall workflow of handling and processing requests, they do not typically carry the initial responsibility for determining the security rating.
