Don't forget about the New England Historic Genealogical Society's Committee on Heraldry:

You may register your arms with them, and whilst it has no official standing per se, it does have this going for it:

Established in 1864, the New England Historic Genealogical Society Committee on Heraldry is the world's oldest non-governmental body primarily concerned with heraldry. It authenticates and records arms rightfully borne in the United States or by U.S. citizens living abroad, publishing historic arms in A Roll of Arms, Registered by the Committee on Heraldry of the New England Historic Genealogical Society.
