H.R. 5780 would require the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to
provide information and guidance on securing critical infrastructure (such as power
generation and transmission facilities) to state, local, and private stakeholders. CBO expects
that, under the bill, CISA would provide that information on an agency website to help
nonfederal entities protect themselves and their systems from terrorist threats. On the basis of
information from CISA regarding similar information sharing programs, CBO estimates that
it would cost $6 million in 2021 to develop and disseminate security guidance, training
modules, and fact sheets. CBO expects that the department would need 13 new employees by
2022, at an average salary of $150,000, to communicate with the critical infrastructure
community and to review additional materials for the website. In total, satisfying that
requirement would cost $14 million over the 2020-2025 period, CBO estimates.

The bill also would authorize CISA to train state and local officials to assess risks to critical
infrastructure through a one-year pilot program. Using information on the costs of similar
training efforts, CBO estimates that it would cost $5 million to develop the curriculum and
materials for the pilot program. If CISA chose to continue the pilot program after one year,
costs would be higher than CBO estimates.

Satisfying the bill's reporting requirements would cost less than $500,000 over the
2020-2025 period.
