Transportation Security Agency to strengthen passenger rail
security.

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
