Unfortunately, I think you are incorrect.

As I understand it, the government has banned the US production of 60w and 40w bulbs. I think manufacturers produced a lot of these bulbs anticipating an "end" demand so if you want to buy these bulb sizes you can probably get a good deal for awhile until quantities become more scarce.
