S. 2439 would require the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to
identify and mitigate threats to systems that are used in the automated control of critical
infrastructure processes (such as power generation and water treatment). The bill also would
require CISA to brief the Congress on its capability to do so not later than six months after
the bill's enactment and every six months thereafter over the four-year period following
enactment of the bill. In addition, the bill would require the Government Accountability
Office to review and report on CISA's practices for managing cybersecurity risks to
industrial control systems.
CISA already assists the owners and operators of critical infrastructure with addressing
security vulnerabilities in their industrial control systems. The bill would codify those
responsibilities but would not impose any new operating requirements on the agency. CBO
estimates that implementing S. 2439 would cost less than $500,000 over the 2021-2026
period to prepare and deliver the required briefings; such spending would be subject to the
availability of appropriations.
For this estimate, CBO assumes that the bill will be enacted in fiscal year 2022.
