this document, the secondary domains will become undelegated and will
revert to the control of the .GOV owner. As of 2 years after the
publication of this document, all registrations in the secondary
domains must be mirrored in the primary domain and those names should
be used where possible. At the 3 year point, all secondary domain
registrations will be deleted.
5) Those agencies and entities already registered in .GOV but not
listed in FIPS 95-1 (e.g., DOE labs, state entities) may retain their
registration within the constraint of the single registration rule
(see para 4). No further non-FIPS-listed registrations will be made.
State and local entities are strongly encouraged to re-register under
.US, but this is not mandatory.
