The legislation originated in the U.S. House of Representatives on November 17, 2009 as a part of the 111th Congress. The bill sought to impose additional restrictions and requirements regarding the use of peer-to-peer filesharing by employees of and contractors to the United States government.

Under the Act, the heads or chief information officers of agencies must request and receive permission before employees can use specific peer-to-peer filesharing programs for job-related tasks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bill Text )〕 The proposed Secure Federal File Sharing Act sought to establish a policy that would require, within 180 days of the its enactment, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget must update agency policies to comply with the act (which includes the implementation of security controls to prevent, detect, and remove file sharing software from federal computers, systems, and networks within this time frame). Additionally, the act would require the Director to give annual reports on agencies that use filesharing programs and the justification for each use.〔 The Congressional Budget Office estimated that the administration of the law will cost a total of $10 million dollars over the 2011–2014 U.S fiscal years,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gop.gov/bill/111/2/hr4098 )〕 or $0.09 per American citizen over this three-year period.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_HR_4098.html )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Secure Federal File Sharing Act」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
