"The US government is expected to take over control of the central information website on the Gulf oil spill response that has been run jointly by various agencies and BP for the 2 1/2 months since the rig explosion.
..
A DHS spokesman told The Associated Press on Sunday that the joint relationship won't change when the website is given a dot-gov address instead of a dot-com address.
But who can post information to the site would change. Details are still being worked out.
The spokesman, Sean Smith, said the government wants to be as transparent as possible and increase Americans' access to information."

Right, that is why the media near black-out and the threat of fines.
I suppose taking over a website is less messy than actually taking over clean-up efforts.
Is the OP aware that the Coast Guard is a part of the Department of Homeland Security?
Yes, I know that..they moved over there quite a few years ago from DOT.
Ownership is coming from the top..the .com will turn into a .gov.
BP and the USCG were sharing info on BP's site.
What does it matter about the USCG..they will probably not be posting anymore. It's undecided who will put the information there after it becomes a .gov. More centralized coming out of DC probably.
Taking control of a private website, to be called their own???
Something is fishy in Denmark!
