seq.) is amended by adding at the end thereof the following:

            ``(1) In general.--
                    ``(A) Rulemaking required.--Notwithstanding section 
                3(a)(1)(E) of this Act, the Commission shall initiate a 
                rulemaking proceeding under section 553 of title 5, 
                United States Code, within 90 days after the date of 
                enactment of this section to establish a consumer 
                product safety standard for handgun locks. The 
                Commission may extend the 90-day period for good cause. 
                Notwithstanding any other provision of law, including 
                chapter 5 of title 5, United States Code, the 
                Commission shall promulgate a final consumer product 
                safety standard under this paragraph within 12 months 
                after the date on which it initiated the rulemaking. 
                The Commission may extend that 12-month period for good 
                cause. The consumer product safety standard promulgated 
                under this paragraph shall take effect 6 months after 
                the date on which the final standard is promulgated.
                    ``(B) Standard requirements.--The standard 
                promulgated under subparagraph (A) shall require gun 
                locks that--
                            ``(i) are sufficiently difficult for 
                        children to de-activate or remove; and
                            ``(ii) prevent the discharge of the handgun 
                        unless the gunlock has been de-activated or 
                        removed.
            ``(2) Certain provisions not to apply.--
                    ``(A) Provisions of this act.--Sections 7, 9, and 
                30(d) of this Act do not apply to the rulemaking 
                proceeding under paragraph (1). Section 11 of this Act 
                does not apply to any consumer product safety standard 
                promulgated under paragraph (1).
                    ``(B) Chapter 5 of title 5.--Except for section 
                553, chapter 5 of title 5, United States Code, does not 
                apply to this section.
                    ``(C) Chapter 6 of title 5.--Chapter 6 of title 5, 
                United States Code, does not apply to this section.
                    ``(D) National environmental policy act.--The 
                National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 
                4321) does not apply to this section.
    ``(b) No Effect on State Law.--Notwithstanding section 26 of this 
Act, this section does not annul, alter, impair, affect, or exempt any 
person subject to the provisions of this section from complying with 
any provision of the law of any State or any political subdivision 
thereof, except to the extent that such provisions of State law are 
inconsistent with any provision of this section, and then only to the 
extent of the inconsistency. A provision of State law is not 
inconsistent with this section if such provision affords greater 
protection to children in respect of handguns than is afforded by this 
section.
    ``(c) Enforcement.--Notwithstanding subsection (a)(2)(A), the 
consumer product safety standard promulgated by the Commission under 
subsection (a) shall be enforced under this Act as if it were a 
consumer product safety standard described in section 7(a).

        deactivated or removed.
            ``(3) Handgun.--The term `handgun'--
                    ``(A) has the meaning given that term in section

            ``(4) Incorporated definitions.--The terms `licensed 
        importer', `licensed manufacturer', and `licensed dealer' have 
        the meanings given those terms in section 921(a) of title 18,
