PKCS#1 in IKE vs. FIPS certification

I just learned that FIPS will no longer approve the PKCS#1 standard,
starting in June. Instead they will endorse some ANSI standard.
The IKE RFC demands that PKCS#1 be used for RSA encryption and RSA signatures. 

So, will this mean that starting in June it will not be possible to
create IKE/IPsec products for the US federal market, and use RSA signatures
or RSA encryption? Or does it mean something else?
