     SEC. 1097. COMPLETION OF OUTSTANDING TRANSPORTATION SECURITY 
                   REQUIREMENTS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) According to the Inspector General of the Department of 
     Homeland Security, the Transportation Security 
     Administration's failure to complete certain requirements of 
     the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act 
     of 2007 (Public Law 110-53) may diminish the ability of the 
     Transportation Security Agency to strengthen passenger rail 
     security.
       (2) The Inspector General of the Department of Homeland 
     Security--
       (A) recognizes that voluntary initiatives can assist the 
     Transportation Security Agency in identifying potential 
     security vulnerabilities; and
       (B) recommends completing the requirements of the 
     Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 
     2007 to improve passenger rail security.
       (b) Required Completion.--Not later than 6 months after the 
     date of the enactment of this Act, the Administrator of the 
     Transportation Security Administration shall, at a minimum, 
     complete sections 1512 and 1517 of the Implementing 
     Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 (6 U.S.C. 
     1162 and 1167).
