  W  Cost   Estimate


February 19, 2019


S. 315 would codify the role and responsibilities of existing 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. 315 also would require the NCCIC to report to the Congress on HIRT operations at the end of each of
the first four fiscal years following the bill's enactment. On the basis of information from DHS and
considering information about similar reporting requirements, CBO estimates that enacting S. 315 would
cost less than $500,000 over the 2019-2024 period; such spending would be subject to the availability of
appropriated funds.

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