                                   H.R. 5733
  DHS Industrial Control Systems Capabilities Enhancement Act of 2018

           As ordered reported by the House Committee on Homeland Security
                                  on June 6, 2018


 H.R. 5733 would require the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration
 Center (NCCIC) in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to develop and maintain
 capabilities to identify and mitigate threats and vulnerabilities to products and
 technologies used in the automated control of critical infrastructure processes. The bill
 also would require DHS to provide briefings to the Congress on those capabilities not
 later than six months after the bill's enactment and every six months thereafter over the
 next four years.

 On the basis of information from DHS, CBO has concluded that the NCCIC already
 provides assistance to owners and operators of critical infrastructure and control systems
 vendors to identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities to their industrial control
 systems. The bill would codify those responsibilities but would not impose any new
 operating requirements on the department. Thus, we estimate that implementing
 H.R. 5733 would cost less than $500,000 over the 2019-2023 period to prepare and
 deliver the required briefings; such spending would be subject to the availability of
 appropriated funds.

 Enacting H.R. 5733 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-
 go procedures do not apply.

 CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 5733 would not increase net direct spending or on-
 budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.

 H.R. 5733 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
 Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.

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