New gTLD fees -- is USG approval required?

From ICANN's current contract with the U.S. Government:

"If the contractor intends on establishing and collecting fees from third parties (i.e., other than the Government) for the functions performed under this contract, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing at least sixty days prior to the fee being applied and provide documentation which identifies the rationale for the fee, the parties to be charged, and the cost basis for the fee... The Contracting Officer shall approve any fee in writing prior to the Contractor imposing the fee."
