                                  H.R. 6743
           Consumer Information Notification Requirement Act

           As ordered reported by the House Committee on Financial Services
                              on September 13, 2018


 H.R. 6743 would require several federal agencies to establish standards regarding how
 financial institutions provide notifications of a data breach to customers. Under the bill,
 State insurance authorities would be required to enforce those standards.

 Under the bill, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Office of the
 Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA),
 the Federal Reserve, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Federal
 Trade Commission (FTC) would be required to create or update their standards for
 notifying people about a data breach. Using information from several of those affected
 agencies, CBO estimates that the costs to implement the bill would not be significant for
 any agency.

 Any spending by the FTC would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
 Because the SEC is authorized under current law to collect fees sufficient to offset its
 annual appropriation, we estimate that the net costs to the SEC would be negligible,
 assuming appropriation actions consistent with that authority

 Administrative costs incurred by the FDIC, the NCUA, and the OCC are recorded in the
 budget as increases in direct spending, but those agencies are authorized to collect
 premiums and fees from insured depository institutions to cover administrative expenses.
 Thus, CBO expects that the net effect on direct spending would be negligible.
 Administrative costs to the Federal Reserve are reflected in the federal budget as a
 reduction in remittances to the Treasury (which are recorded in the budget as revenues).

 Because enacting H.R. 6743 could affect direct spending and revenues, pay-as-you-go
 procedures apply. However, the net effect on direct spending and revenues would not be
 significant.

 CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 6743 would not increase net direct spending or on-
 budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.
