NSA accomplishes disposition of classified materiel by using standard industrial conversion or approved destruction methods through numerous recycling and reclamation procedures in strict accordance with environmental, safety, and security standards.
The CMC does not demilitarize (DEMIL) COMSEC/CCI equipment. For more information on how to DEMIL or who can perform the DEMIL, please contact your Central Office of Record (COR), Service Authority or CCI Authority for instructions.
The CMC office does however accept the CCI circuit boards from the equipment. You would follow normal CMC procedures to send the circuit boards to us for the destruction which can be found when you click the link for CMC Required Procedures Manual.
For COMSEC accounts under the purview of the NSA Central Office of Record, you can reach the NSA COR at 301-688-8110, you can also visit their website http://www.iad.gov/COR/feedback.cfm.
The CMC offers a secure process to entities that qualify and possess items that meet the CMC criteria for acceptance.
