implement an enforcement mechanism for suspending and revoking dealer certificates; and
 
 establish an Aircraft Registry Task Force to examine national security, law enforcement, and public safety issues related to civil aircraft registration and develop solutions to mitigate security and safety risks and increase interagency cooperation.
