H.R. 1163
Federal Information Security Amendments Act of 2013
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
on March 20, 2013
SUMMARY
H.R. 1163 would amend the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002
(FISMA) to improve the security of federal information technology systems. The
legislation would require continuous monitoring of computer systems and would provide
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and other federal agencies with specific
new responsibilities to secure federal information systems. The bill states that no
additional funds are authorized to implement the legislation beyond those already
authorized or appropriated.
Based on information from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), OMB, and
other major agencies working to ensure the security of federal information systems, CBO
estimates that implementing H.R. 1163 would cost $620 million over the 2014-2018
period, assuming that the necessary amounts are made available from appropriated funds.
Most of those funds would be spent on salaries, expenses, and computer hardware and
software. Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-
as-you-go procedures do not apply.
H.R. 1163 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would impose no costs on state, local, or
tribal governments.
ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
The estimated budgetary impact of H.R. 1163 is shown in the following table. The costs
of this legislation fall within budget function 800 (general government) and all other
budget functions that include spending for computer information systems.
