For more information on how to register an organization name, see ANSI Organization Name Registration.
There is a second US branch of the OID tree, {iso(1) member-body(16) us(840)}; some organizations are listed there, but new registrations are made under the 2.16.840 arc.
From Chapter 5 "Names and addresses" of the book "Open Systems Networking. TCP/IP and OSI" (1993) by D.M. Piscitello and A.L. Chapin:
-----
ANSI operates a registration authority that assigns organization names in two forms:
{iso(1) member-body(2) us(840)}
arc, registering names for ANSI standards, private organizations with U.S. national standing, and the names of U.S. states and "state equivalents." In 1991, however, changes in the registration authority procedures standard ISO/IEC 9834 | Rec. ITU-T X.660 invalidated this procedure; they required that private organization names with national standing be registered under {joint-iso-itu-t(2) country(16) us(840)}
arc. This had two immediate, significant consequences: organization names already registered under the {1 2 840}
arc were suddenly "homeless", and policy control over the assignment names -- previously vested solely in ANSI under the old rules -- became the joint responsibility of ANSI and the U.S. Department of State (which is the official US representative in the ITU-T arena).{1 2 840}
arc to the {2 16 840 1}
arc, which will not invalidate existing names (such as organization identifiers and application entity titles) that may already have been constructed using the {1 2 840}
prefix; in effect, two equivalent prefixes will exist (in perpetuity) for currently registered organization names. New registrations will be made only under the new {2 16 840 1}
arc, and organizations possessed of an "old" registration will be encouraged (but not required) to construct no new identifiers under the {1 2 840}
arc.{1 2 840}
arc is unaffected and will remain in place.ITU-T SG 7 & ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 33
