    (a) In General.--The Comptroller General of the United States 
shall, not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this 
section, conduct a study on--
            (1) the effect of homeownership in communities by seasonal 
        and non-permanent residents on the collection and accuracy of 
        data in censuses and surveys conducted by the Bureau of the 
        Census; and
            (2) the effect such data has on distribution of Federal

    (b) Special Focus.--In carrying out such study, the Comptroller 
General shall give special focus on rural Appalachia communities and 
coastal communities.
    (c) Recommendations.--If, in carrying out the study under 
subsection (a), the Comptroller General of the United State finds a 
negative effect between levels of seasonal and non-permanent resident 
homeownership and Federal funding distribution, the Comptroller General 
of the United States shall provide recommendations with respect to 
remedying such negative effect.
