                                 H.R.   2105
              NIST  Small  Business  Cybersecurity   Act of 2017

    As ordered reported by the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology
                                 on May 2, 2017


H.R. 2105 would direct the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to
provide resources to small businesses to help them reduce their cybersecurity risks. Under
the bill, NIST would be required to provide and update tools, methodologies, guidelines,
and other resources to small business to use on a voluntary basis. Based on an analysis of
information from NIST, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 2105 would cost
$6 million over the 2018-2022 period, including $2 million in 2018 for NIST to consult
with several federal agencies and develop such resources and an additional $4 million over
the 2019-2022 period to update those resources; such spending would be subject to the
availability of appropriated funds.

Enacting H.R. 2105 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 2105 would not increase net
direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2028.

H.R. 2105 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 May  5, 2017, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for S. 770, the MAIN STREET
Cybersecurity Act of 2017, as ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Commerce,
Science, and Transportation on April 5, 2017. The two bills are similar and CBO's estimate
of their budgetary effects is the same.

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