SEC. __. RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.

(a) Definition.--In this section, the term ``qualified
anti-terrorism technology'' has the meaning given the term in
section 865 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C.
665).
(b) Extension.--During fiscal year 2023, the Under
Secretary for Science and Technology of the Department of
Homeland Security may temporarily extend the duration of
protections provided under the system of risk management set
forth in subtitle G of title VIII of the Homeland Security
Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 441 et seq.) to a qualified anti-
terrorism technology if the Under Secretary determines that--
(1) an application for the renewal of such protections was
submitted not later than 165 days before the date of the
expiration of such protections; and
(2) such application for renewal was complete upon
submission.
(c) Rule of Construction.--A determination by the Under
Secretary to temporarily extend protections to a qualified
anti-terrorism technology pursuant to the authority provided
by subsection (b) may not be construed to preclude or
otherwise limit the authority of the Under Secretary to
ultimately approve or deny the application for renewal of
such protections.
