                                    H.R.  3076
                                    CASES Act

    As ordered reported by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
                                 on February 6, 2018


 H.R. 3076 would require the Office of Management and Budget to create an electronic
 form that would allow individual users to consent to have a Member of Congress act on
 their behalf in matters concerning any federal agency. Under current law, most
 constituent services performed by federal agencies are provided using a paper process.

 CBO  is unaware of any electronic authentication program currently under development
 or planned in the near term that features three-person authentication (constituent, agency,
 and Congressional staff). In addition, CBO is unaware of any comprehensive information
 on the amount of work that legislative branch employees provide for constituent services.

 Login.gov-an  online system that offers about 4 million users secure, private access to
 10 participating federal programs-cost about $15 million to develop. On that basis,
 CBO  estimates that implementing H.R. 3076 by adding another secure access point to
 login.gov would cost less than $1 million per major federal agency. Estimated costs over
 the 2019-2023 period, most of which would be subject to the availability of appropriated
 funds, would total about $15 million.

 Enacting H.R. 3076 could affect direct spending by some agencies because they are
 authorized to use receipts from the sale of goods and from fees and other collections to
 cover operating costs. Therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Because most
 agencies can adjust the amounts collected as their operating costs change, CBO estimates
 any net changes in direct spending by those agencies would be insignificant. Enacting the
 bill would not affect revenues.

 CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 3076 would not increase net direct spending or on-
 budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.

 H.R. 3076 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
 Unfunded  Mandates Reform Act.

 The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is Matthew Pickford. The estimate was reviewed
 by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
