Is there currently standardization of the national information?

If the various regional sites offer radically different services, 
then a one-size-fits-all approach does
seem like a bad idea.  However, I can't see any benefit to NOT 
standardizing the national information.

What is the driving concern behind this push towards unification?  Is 
it concern that the national focus is
being diluted or inconsistently represented?  Or is it concern about 
wasted resources in maintaining multiple sites?

If the former, is there a way to offer a single national level site 
that all of the regional sites would link to,
in addition to their individual services, goals, mission?
