Actually, even that's not quite true: you can't use it in a FIPS
compliant system to *generate* signatures, but you can still use it in
a FIPS compliant system to verify legacy signatures (signatures created
before sha-1 was deprecated). It's still also completely acceptable as
a hash for HMAC.
The supporting document is this one:
https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.SP.800-131Ar1.pdf
The bottom line is removing SHA-1 to achieve "FIPS compliance" is the
wrong approach. You just have to make sure you can never use it to
generate signatures.
