The Executive Budget recommends (analysis as of January 30, 2004):

 

·          An FTE level of 73, an increase of 6 over the adjusted level for SFY 2003-04, all in the Cyber Security and Critical Infrastructure Coordination Program (CSCIC) (3 supported by Special Revenue Federal Funds, 3 by Special Revenue Other).  However, the adjusted FTE level is a net decrease of 28 FTEs from the estimate in the SFY 2003-04 Executive Budget.   This includes an increase of 5 FTEs in the Administration Program and a reduction of 33 FTEs in the CSCIC.

·          An All Funds appropriation of $14,876,000, an increase of $2.96 million (24.8%), all in Special Revenue funds in CSCIC.

·          Personal Service in CSIC is reduced by $1.1 million, reflecting the funding of only 4 FTEs through General Funds (38 positions were anticipated to be supported by General Funds in 2003-04).  These funds are shifted into nonpersonal service for the purchase of equipment.  There is a new Special Revenue Federal appropriation of $1 million to support Federal Critical Infrastructure grants, a new $800,000 Special Revenue Other appropriation for Cyber Upgrades, and a $1.16 million increase in the NYS Cyber Readiness Account (Special Revenue Other) to fund a new power security initiative.

·          According to Assembly Ways and Means Committee analysis, revenues to support cyber upgrades will be generated through assessments imposed when entities request access to certain geographic data. The cost of cyber upgrades will also be supported through assessments on consultation services provided by CSCIC related to enhancing mapping services. The Executive proposal provides that the power security initiative will be supported by utility assessments generated pursuant to Section 18-a of the Public Service Law.  There is no accompanying Article VII legislation proposed.
