In rare instances, the agency cannot do so because it is unable to identify the owners of computers or devices that are vulnerable to malicious activity. S. 3045 would authorize CISA to issue administrative subpoenas in those instances to compel Internet service providers (ISPs) to disclose the identity of owners of such critical infrastructure. The bill also would require CISA to provide annual reports to the Congress on its use of that authority. ISPs that do not comply with subpoenas could be subject to civil and criminal penalties; therefore, the government might collect additional fines under the legislation. Civil fines are recorded in the budget as revenues. Criminal fines are recorded as revenues, deposited in the Crime Victims Fund, and later spent without further appropriation. CBO expects that few ISPs would be fined for defying subpoenas. Thus, both revenues and direct spending would increase by insignificant amounts over the 2020-2030 period. On net, enacting the bill would reduce the deficit by an insignificant amount, CBO estimates.
