Summary

Gives the President the power to put this chapter and the Additional Protocol into effect and to name by Executive order which federal agencies will make, change, and enforce the needed rules (for example, State, Defense, Justice, Commerce, Energy, or the Nuclear Regulatory Commission). If a named agency does not already have the power to do site vulnerability assessments and related work, it gets that power, but this does not change any powers the agency already has.
