                           Cyber  Sense  Act of 2018

 As ordered reported by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on May 9, 2018


 SUMMARY

 H.R. 5239 would direct the Department of Energy (DOE) to establish a program to
 identify and promote products and technologies to mitigate the threat of cyber-related
 disruptions to the bulk power system. (The bulk power system comprises facilities and
 control systems necessary for operating an interconnected network for transmitting
 electric energy and facilities that generate electricity necessary to maintain the reliability
 of that network.)

 CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 5239 would cost $56 million over the 2019-2023
period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts. Enacting the bill would not
affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 5239 would not increase net direct spending or on-
budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.

H.R. 5239 would impose an intergovernmental mandate, as defined in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act (UMRA),  on state, local, and tribal governments, but CBO
estimates that it would impose no duty on those governments that would result in
additional spending or a loss of revenues.

H.R. 5239 contains no private-sector mandates as defined in UMRA.


ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

The estimated budgetary effect of H.R. 5239 is shown in the following table. The costs of
the legislation fall primarily within budget function 270 (energy).
