(i) Within 90 days of the date of this order, FCEB agencies shall take steps
to ensure that all of their assigned Internet number resources (Internet
Protocol (IP) address blocks and Autonomous System Numbers) are covered by a
Registration Services Agreement with the American Registry for Internet Numbers
or another appropriate regional Internet registry.
I don't have numbers on hand for how much US Gov space is already with
ARIN, but this seems like a pretty nice win for ARIN getting an order
for the US Gov legacy space attached to them (mentioned by name),
while other RIRs are available in that order, I don't imagine it's
going to other RIRs :)
For clarity, FCEB stands for Federal CIVILIAN Executive Branch. So,
this order excludes the military, probably the intelligence agencies,
state and local governments, etc. And not everything operated for the
Federal government is done on their IP addresses. This won't affect
address space assigned to federal contractors.
In a nutshell, this means that the few non-military federal agencies
still operating on "legacy" IPv4 addresses will now have to officially
sign a contract with ARIN. And nothing more than that.

While it maybe associated with only FCEB agencies .
Seems like one more step toward a State sanctoined Monopoly .
Which even in anyones eyes ARIN is , Within the U.S.A. Region .
