"For Official Use Only." With respect to information in a US Government context this implies that the information is not classified (e.g., secret, top secret, etc.), but it is not public, either. The information can be shared with anyone with a clear need to know, but the information should not be publicized. In other contexts (e.g., at a specific company, or with respect to the usage of a government vehicle), it means something slightly different, but the spirit is the same.
