H.R. 360 would direct the Department of Energy (DOE) to establish a voluntary program to
test the cybersecurity of products and technologies intended for use in the nation' s bulk
power system. The bulk power system comprises the facilities and control systems necessary
for operating an interconnected energy transmission network and the electric energy needed
from generation facilities to maintain transmission system reliability.

In the President's Budget for fiscal year 2020, DOE requested $15 million to operate a
similar program. On that basis, and accounting for anticipated inflation and historical
spending patterns for similar programs, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 360 would
cost $56 million over the 2020-2024 period, assuming appropriation of the necessary
amounts.

The costs of the legislation (detailed in Table 1) fall within budget function 270 (energy).
