disadvantages of the off-the-shelf 

technologies compared to technologies 

provided by VRS-providers? For 

example, are there specific 

functionalities—for either VRS or pointto-point communications—that these 

technologies offer that are not available 

on devices issued by providers? What 

are the current limitations of such 

technologies (e.g., with respect to 

interoperability, numbering, emergency 

services) and to what extent do such 

limitations impede their use by persons 

who rely on VRS? Do such off-the-shelf 

technologies comply with the 

Commission’s current rules? If they do 

not comply, in what ways do they not 

comply?

II. Background 

The Federal Housing Finance 

Regulatory Reform Act of 2008 (‘‘Reform 

Act’’), which was passed as Division A 

of the Housing and Economic Recovery 

Act of 2008 (‘‘HERA’’), Public Law 110– 

289, 122 Stat. 2654, 2913, abolished 

both the Federal Housing Finance Board 

(‘‘FHFB’’), an independent agency that 

oversaw the Federal Home Loan Banks 

(‘‘FHLBanks’’), and the Office of Federal 

Housing Enterprise Oversight 

(‘‘OFHEO’’), an office within the 

Department of Housing and Urban 

Development (‘‘HUD’’) that oversaw the 

‘‘safety and soundness’’ of the Federal 

Home Loan Mortgage Corporation 

(‘‘Freddie Mac’’) and the Federal 

National Mortgage Association (‘‘Fannie 

Mae’’). See 12 U.S.C. 1422a, 4502(6), 

4511, 4512, 4513, 4541, 4563 (2006); 

H.R. Rep. No. 110–142, at 95. The 

Reform Act established in place of the 

FHFB and OFHEO a new entity, the 

Federal Housing Finance Agency 

(‘‘FHFA’’), which now regulates and 

supervises Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, 

and the 12 FHLBanks. See Reform Act 

sections 1002, 1101, 1102 and 1311; 12 

U.S.C. 4511 (2009). 

Section 1105 of HERA also amended 

the Federal Housing Enterprises 

Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 

1992 and the Inspector General Act of 

1978 (the ‘‘IG Act’’), by specifying that 

there shall be established an Inspector 

General within FHFA (‘‘FHFA–OIG’’). 

See 12 U.S.C. 4517(d). FHFA–OIG is 

responsible for, among other things, 

conducting audits, investigations, and 

inspections of FHFA’s programs and 

operations; recommending polices that 

promote economy and efficiency in the 

administration of FHFA’s programs and 

operations; and preventing and 

detecting fraud and abuse in FHFA’s 

programs and operations. 

By Federal Register notice dated 

October 17, 2006, the FHFB revised an 

existing system of records to establish a 

system of records designated FHFB–6,
