                             COST ESTIMATE

                                                             September 22, 2017



                                 H.R. 2331
                        Connected Government Act

  As ordered reported by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
                             on September 13, 2017


H.R. 2331 would require all federal agencies that create or update a website intended for
use by the public to ensure that the website is mobile friendly. A mobile friendly website is
defined as one that is configured in such a way that it may be easily navigated and viewed
on a smartphone, tablet computer, or similar mobile device. In addition, the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), in consultation with the General Services
Administration (GSA), would report on the implementation of these requirements within
18 months.

Under current executive branch guidance (see OMB Memorandum M- 17-06, which was
issued on November 8, 2016) all new or redesigned federal websites must allow for access
by mobile devices. In addition, GSA's Digital Government Division works with agencies
to help them provide electronic information and services to the public in any digital form.
Because of those ongoing efforts, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 2331 would have
no significant cost.

Enacting H.R. 2331 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply.

CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 2331 would not increase direct spending or on-budget
deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028.

H.R. 2331 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. This estimate was approved
by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
