                                    S. 2844
                 STB Information Security Improvement Act

  As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation
                                 on May 22, 2018


 S. 2844 would require the Surface Transportation Board (STB) to develop a plan to
 comply with recommendations made by the Department of Transportation's inspector
 general regarding its information security system. The bill would require the STB to
 report annually to the Congress on the status of its compliance with the inspector
 general's report.

 Under current law, CBO expects that the STB will implement the inspector general's
 recommendations regarding its information security system. The agency has already
 hired an employee to manage and implement the plan. As a result, CBO estimates that
 implementing the provisions of S. 2844 would have no significant effect on the federal
 budget over the 2019-2023 period.

 Enacting S. 2844 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
 procedures do not apply.

 CBO estimates that enacting S. 2844 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget
 deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2029.

 S. 2844 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
 Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.

 On March 20, 2018, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for H.R. 4921, the STB Information
 Security Improvement Act, as ordered reported by the House Committee on
 Transportation and Infrastructure on February 14, 2018. The two pieces of legislation are
 similar and CBO's estimate of their budgetary effects are the same.

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