Text of Recommendation | We recommend the Administrator, Transportation
Security Administration, designate a lead office responsible for establishing
internal controls, conducting routine oversight, and providing quality
assurance for the implementation of outstanding legislative mandates in the
9/11 Act and TSA Modernization Act, as well as future legislation. This should
include:
a. establishing formal policies and procedures for resolving and closing
legislative mandates to include:
analyzing critically supporting documentation;
reviewing details and assessing the sufficiency and timeliness of
actions taken; and
documenting its review and conclusions reached.
b. developing a reliable system to enable more complete and accurate
tracking of existing and future legislative mandates to ensure all relevant
documentation is properly archived and retrievable.
c. ensuring TSA documents requirements and maintains correspondence
with Congress and the Inspector General regarding those requirements
that are challenging and cannot be done timely due to external factors,
as well as identifying redundant requirements in other legislation so TSA
can avoid duplicative efforts. |
