This is more realistic because I believe the US government is mostly restricted from using the .com TLD. That decision came from:

"Digital Government: Building a 21st Century Platform to Better Serve the American People". United States Federal CIO Council. May 23, 2012.

The Federal goverment can authorize a contractor to host authorized content: annualcreditreport.com

This is a bad idea, though, as it makes it easy and legal for non-authorized entities to impersonate the authorized ones: freecreditreport.com
