                                   H.R.   4294
        Prevention   of Private Information   Dissemination Act of 2017

           As ordered reported by the House Committee on Financial Services
                               on November  15, 2017


Large bank holding companies and certain nonbank financial companies are currently
subject to extra supervision, capital requirements, and stress testing under the Dodd-
Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. In connection with that
enhanced supervision, H.R. 4294 would establish a criminal penalty for federal
employees who  willfully disclose individually identifiable information collected from
those institutions and for those who obtain such information under false pretenses. Both
penalties would be set at $5,000.

Because people who are prosecuted and convicted under H.R. 4294 could be subject to
criminal fines, the federal government would probably collect additional penalties under
the bill. Such fines are recorded as revenues, deposited in the Crime Victims Fund, and
later spent without further appropriation action. However, CBO expects that any
additional revenues and associated direct spending would not be significant because the
bill would probably affect a small number of cases.

Pay-as-you-go procedures apply because enacting H.R. 4294 would affect direct
spending and revenues.

CBO  estimates that enacting H.R. 4294 would not significantly increase net direct
spending and would not increase on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-
year periods beginning in 2028.

CBO  has determined that the bill contains no intergovernmental or private-sector
mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.

The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is Peter Huether. The estimate was approved by
John McClelland, Assistant Director for Tax Analysis.
