# 1045.60 Does an unauthorized public release of RD, FRD, or TFNI result in its declassification?
The unauthorized disclosure of RD, FRD, or TFNI does not automatically result in its declassification. However, if a disclosure is sufficiently authoritative or credible, the Director, Office of Environment, Health, Safety and Security will examine the possibility of declassifying the information.
