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,
