The bill also would require DHS to submit a report to the Congress on the results of the exercise. To perform the exercise required by H.R. 3669, DHS would use computer simulation models and facilitate the remote participation of homeland security personnel and local officials. The exercise would simulate the cascading consequences of disruptions to critical infrastructure such as power generation and transmission facilities. Using information about the costs of similar exercises, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 3669 would cost $1 million over the 2019-2024 period; such spending would be subject to availability of appropriated funds. The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Aldo Prosperi. The estimate was reviewed by Leo Lex, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
