Sure. When they gave authority of delegation over the IPv4 space to
the IANA.

There probably are not. It would defeat the point of delegating the
management of IPv4 space to the IANA, if the IANA was forced to justify
every decision they made to the NSF in committee hearing.

I have no doubt if the IANA tried to do something utterly unreasonable
with the responsibilities they have been given, that the NSF would step
in and remove them from power.
