The Interagency Security Classification Appeals Panel provides the public and users of the classification system with a forum for further review of classification decisions.

The protection of the national security requires that some of the work of the U.S. Government be done outside the purview of its citizenry. In order to ensure an informed public while simultaneously protecting certain information, checks and balances are needed over the classification system.
