Not later than 18 months after the date of enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General of the United States (referred to in this section as the Comptroller General ) shall conduct a study of— the extension service needs with respect to Tribal lands and Tribal populations, regardless of the location of those populations; whether the cooperative extension program and the Federally Recognized Tribes Extension Program established under section 1677 of the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 ( 7 U.S.C. 5930 ) are meeting those needs, including by examining, for the most recent 20 years— the total amount of Federal funding received in each State for extension services; the types of extension services, including extension services on agriculture, serving the Tribal population in each State and the amount of funding spent on each type of extension service in the State; and the Tribal population in each State; and how the program established under section 1677 of the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 ( 7 U.S.C. 5930 ) was established when that section was enacted by Congress and the significant changes to the operation and funding of that program since that enactment.
