The Interagency Security Classification Appeals Panel, or "ISCAP", provides the public and users of the classification system with a forum for further review of classification decisions. ISCAP states in order to foster a well-informed public while simultaneously protecting national security interests, checks and balances are needed over the classification system. This requires that some of the work of the U.S. Government be done outside the purview of its citizenry. The ISCAP was created under Executive Order 12958, "Classified National Security Information," when it was signed on April 17, 1995 and held its first meeting in May 1996. Today the ISCAP receives its guidelines from Executive Order 13526 of December 29, 2009, which superseded Executive Order 12958 and its amendments in full on June 25, 2010.〔( Executive Order 12958 of April 17, 1995, ''Classified National Security Information'' ), Federal Register - U.S. National Archives and Records Administration, Vol. 60, No. 76, 20 April 1995, p.19825.〕〔( Executive Order 13292 of March 25, 2003, ''Further Amendment to Executive Order 12958, as Amended, Classified National Security Information'' ), Federal Register - U.S. National Archives and Records Administration, Vol. 68, No. 60, 28 March 2003, p.15315.〕〔( Executive Order 13526 of December 29, 2009, ''Classified National Security Information'' ), Federal Register - U.S. National Archives and Records Administration, Vol. 75, No. 2, 5 January 2010, p.707.〕 ==Functions== Section 5.3 of E.O. 13526 directs the ISCAP to perform four critical functions: * (Classification Challenges ): Deciding on appeals by authorized persons who have filed classification challenges under Section 1.8 of E.O. 13526; * (Exemptions from Automatic Declassification ): Approving, denying or amending agency exemptions from automatic declassification, as provided in Section 3.3 of E.O. 13526; * (Mandatory Declassification Review Appeals ): Deciding on mandatory declassification review appeals by parties whose requests for declassification under Section 3.5 of E.O. 13526, have been denied at the agency level; and * Inform Decisions: Appropriately inform senior agency officials and the public of final Panel decisions on appeals under Sections 1.8 and 3.5 of E.O. 13526.
