USA.gov linking policy

Links to government websites

USA.gov links to publicly available websites that are government owned or government sponsored and are on the .gov, .mil, and .fed.us website domains.

USA.gov also links to:

• Quasi-government agencies and websites created by public sector/private sector partnerships
• State and local government sites 
• Government-sponsored websites that end in .com, .org, or .net (like www.usps.com for the U.S. Postal Service)

Links to non-government websites

USA.gov links to select websites that are not government-owned or government-sponsored. We do this if these websites provide government information in a way that is not available on an official government website. USA.gov provides these non-government websites as a public service only.

The U.S. government, including the U.S. General Services Administration (the primary sponsoring federal agency of USA.gov), neither endorses nor guarantees in any way the external organizations, services, advice, or products included in these website links. Furthermore, the U.S. government neither controls nor guarantees the accuracy, relevance, timeliness or completeness of the information contained in non-government website links.
