From an internal email to USDA employees it seems they are disallowing the use of GE Free/Plus, as it is for individual and not commercial/government use and therefore violates the licensing agreement.

The USDA/government is simply complying with article 5 of the Google Earth license which, in effect, renders the government a commerical client and therefore requires a purchase of a commercial license to use GE. No free or personal versions (including the GEPlus version) are technically allowed at government facilities.
GE Pro is still available and for use.
