Whoever directly oversees it and acts as the stakeholder for GovCloud should be, sure, but there's no reason for the person above the direct overseer to be cleared. Otherwise by that logic Bezos should be cleared as well.
I may be mistaken but I'm fairly confident govcloud is an unclassified network.
