CISA Extends Paperwork for Managing .gov Domain Registry
Published Date: 6/1/2026
Notice
Summary
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is asking for feedback as they extend their paperwork for managing .gov website addresses. This affects U.S. government groups that use .gov domains to keep their sites safe and trustworthy. Comments are open until July 31, 2026, with no new fees or big changes, just keeping things running smoothly.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
You must provide details to get a .gov
If your U.S.-based government organization wants a .gov domain, you must submit information through CISA's online “.gov registrar” when registering a domain. CISA will collect your organization name, type, physical location, current domain, preferred .gov name and rationale, organizational contact names/phones/emails, and nameserver addresses; registration is done once per domain.
Certain domain metadata will be public
For approved .gov domains, CISA will publish certain metadata online, including the domain name, organization name, nameserver address, city/state information, and a security contact. This makes it easier for the public to identify official government sites.
Estimated registration time and cost burden
CISA estimates 3,000 registrations per year, at about 20 minutes each (once per domain), for a total of 1,000 burden hours and a total annual burden cost of $52,622 to respondents and $588,600 in annual government burden cost. The collection carries OMB number 1670-0049 and the current approval expires 10/31/2026 (last approved 10/03/2023).
Limits on sharing registrant information
Under 6 U.S.C. 665(c)(4), CISA will limit sharing or use of information collected through the .gov registrar with other agencies except for administering the .gov domain, related services, and creating a .gov inventory. That limitation applies to information obtained through this collection.
