                                  H.R.   680
               Eliminating   Pornography from Agencies Act

  As ordered reported by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
                                on March 8, 2017


H.R. 680 would require the Office of Management and Budget to issue guidelines to
prohibit federal computers from accessing pornographic and other explicit websites.
Several federal laws, regulations and policies prohibit the use of government property for
unauthorized purposes such as viewing pornography. According to several agency
officials that CBO consulted, government information technology systems generally
block access to pornographic material. CBO estimates that implementing the bill would
not have a significant cost because the viewing of pornography using government
computers is already prohibited.

Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 680 would not increase net
direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2028.

H.R. 680 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform  Act and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal
governments.

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