                                   S. 2975
           Federal  Information   Systems   Safeguards  Act  of 2016

           As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security
                     and Governmental Affairs on May 25, 2016


The Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) provides a comprehensive
framework to protect the security of federal information systems. S. 2975 would clarify
that, under FISMA, federal agencies have the sole and exclusive authority to take
appropriate and timely actions to secure their information technology and information
systems. CBO estimates that while implementing S. 2975 would clarify Congressional
intent, it would have no significant effect on the federal budget because it would not
expand the duties of executive agencies. Because enacting the bill could affect direct
spending by agencies not funded through annual appropriations, pay-as-you-go procedures
apply. CBO estimates, however, that any net change in spending by those agencies would
be negligible. Enacting S. 2975 would not affect revenues.

CBO  estimates that enacting S. 2975 would not increase direct spending or on-budget
deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027.

S. 2975 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform  Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal
governments.

On March  24, 2016, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for H.R. 4361, the Federal
Information Systems Safeguards Act of 2016, as ordered reported by the House Committee
on Oversight and Government Reform on March 1, 2016. The two bills are similar and
CBO's  estimate of their budgetary effects are the same.

The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is Matthew Pickford. This estimate was approved
by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
