                                     S. 3309
               DHS  Cyber   Incident Response   Teams   Act of 2018

           As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security
                   and Governmental Affairs on September 26, 2018


 S. 3309 would codify the establishment and responsibilities of hunt and incident response
 teams (HIRTs) under the authority of the National Cybersecurity and Communications
 Integration Center (NCCIC) in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Under the
 bill, HIRTs would continue to provide assistance to federal and nonfederal entities
 affected by malicious cyber activity.

 S. 3309 also would require the NCCIC to report to the Congress on HIRTs' activities at
 the end of each of the first four fiscal years following the bill's enactment. Using
 information from DHS and considering information about similar reporting requirements,
 CBO  estimates that implementing S. 3309 would cost less than $500,000 over the 2019-
 2023 period; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds.

 Enacting S. 3309 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
 procedures do not apply.

 CBO  estimates that enacting S. 3309 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
 deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.

 S. 3309 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
 Unfunded Mandates Reform  Act.

 On March  15, 2018, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for H.R. 5074, the DHS Cyber
 Incident Response Teams Act of 2018, as ordered reported by the House Committee on
 Homeland  Security on March 7, 2018. The two pieces of legislation are similar and the
 estimated budgetary effects are the same.

 The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is William Ma. The estimate was reviewed by
 Leo Lex, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
