The penalties for not complying with special registration are severe. A willful failure to comply will cause you to be out of lawful immigration status, and you will be deportable, unless you can establish to the satisfaction of the Attorney General that such failure was reasonably excusable or was not willful.
Failure to comply without good cause will mean that you will have to report to an inspecting officer of the Immigration Service when you leave the United States and you could potentially be barred from entering the United States in the future.
