Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability 
Appropriations Act, 2007 (Public Law 110-28; 121 Stat. 189) is amended 
to read as follows:

``SEC. 8104. REPORT ON THE IMPACT OF PAST AND FUTURE MINIMUM WAGE 
              INCREASES.

    ``(a) Study.--Beginning on the date that is 60 days after the date 
of enactment of this Act, and every year thereafter until the minimum 
wage in the respective territory is $7.25 per hour, the Government 
Accountability Office shall conduct a study to--
            ``(1) assess the impact of the minimum wage increases that 
        occurred in American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern 
        Mariana Islands in 2007 and 2008, as required under Public Law 
        110-28, on the rates of employment and the living standards of 
        workers, with full consideration of the other factors that 
        impact rates of employment and the living standards of workers 
        such as inflation in the cost of food, energy, and other 
        commodities; and
            ``(2) estimate the impact of any further wage increases on 
        rates of employment and the living standards of workers in 
        American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 
        Islands, with full consideration of the other factors that may 
        impact the rates of employment and the living standards of 
        workers, including assessing how the profitability of major 
        private sector firms may be impacted by wage increases in 
        comparison to other factors such as energy costs and the value 
        of tax benefits.
    ``(b) Report.--No earlier than March 15, 2009, and not later than 
April 15, 2009, the Government Accountability Office shall transmit its 
first report to Congress concerning the findings of the study required 
under subsection (a). The Government Accountability Office shall

a study required by subsection (a) between March 15 and April 15 of 
each year.

        Mariana Islands in its household surveys and establishment

event that the inclusion of American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the 
Northern Mariana Islands in such surveys and data compilations requires 
time to structure and implement, the Department of Labor, the Bureau of 
Economic Analysis, and the Bureau of the Census (as the case may be) 
shall in the interim annually report the best available data that can 
feasibly be secured with respect to such territories. Such interim 
reports shall describe the steps the Department or the respective 
Bureau will take to improve future data collection in the territories 
to achieve comparability with the data collected in the United States. 
The Department of Labor, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and the

                educational agency shall distribute 100 percent of such 
                funds to local educational agencies or, if such State
