Sec. 181. Population

    (a) During the intervals between each census of population required 
under section 141 of this title, the Secretary, to the extent feasible, 
shall annually produce and publish for each State, county, and local 
unit of general purpose government which has a population of fifty 
thousand or more, current data on total population and population 
characteristics and, to the extent feasible, shall biennially produce 
and publish for other local units of general purpose government current 
data on total population. Such data shall be produced and published for 
each State, county, and other local unit of general purpose government 
for which data is compiled in the most recent census of population taken 
under section 141 of this title. Such data may be produced by means of 
sampling or other methods, which the Secretary determines will produce 
current, comprehensive, and reliable data.
    (b) If the Secretary is unable to produce and publish current data 
during any fiscal year on total population for any county and local unit 
of general purpose government as required by this section, a report 
shall be submitted by the Secretary to the President of the Senate and 
to the Speaker of the House of Representatives not later than 90 days 
before the commencement of the following fiscal year, enumerating each 
government excluded and giving the reasons for such exclusion.
