Although DHS currently conducts many of the activities covered by H.R. 3696 and has received approximately $800 million so far in fiscal year 2014 for its cybersecurity activities, some provisions in the bill would expand existing programs, provide additional authorities, or add new requirements beyond the agency's current efforts. Assuming the appropriation of the necessary amounts, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that implementing the bill would cost an additional $160 million over the 2015-2019 period.
