H.R. 3599 would direct the Office of Personnel Management to create policies and
procedures to allow federal cybersecurity professionals to temporarily work for another
agency for up to one year. That requirement would expire five years following enactment. In
addition, the bill would require the Government Accountability Office to report to the
Congress on the effectiveness of the rotational program.
CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 3599 would cost less than $500,000 over the
2021-2026 period to issue regulations, train staff, and prepare the required report. Such
spending would be subject to the availability of appropriations. For this estimate, CBO
assumes that the bill will be enacted in fiscal year 2021. Under that assumption, agencies
could incur some costs in 2021, but CBO expects that most of the costs would be incurred in
2022 and later.
Enacting H.R. 3599 could affect direct spending by some agencies that can use fees, receipts
from the sale of goods, and other collections to cover operating costs. Because most of those
agencies can adjust amounts collected to reflect changes in operating costs, any net changes
in direct spending by those agencies would be negligible, CBO estimates.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Aldo Prosperi. The estimate was reviewed by
Leo Lex, Deputy Director of Budget Analysis.
