the Regional Administrator or their delegate indicates a desire to be 
present, the steam locomotive owner and/or operator will provide a 
scheduled date and location for the inspection. Once scheduled, the 
inspection must be performed at the time and place specified, unless the 
Regional Administrator and the steam locomotive owner and/or operator 
mutually agree to reschedule. If the Regional Administrator requests the 
inspection be performed on another date but the steam locomotive owner 
and/or operator and the Regional Administrator are unable to agree on a 
date for rescheduling, the inspection may be performed as scheduled.
    (c) Filing inspection reports. Within 10 days of completing the 
annual inspection, the steam locomotive owner and/or operator shall 
file, for each steam locomotive inspected, a report of inspection (FRA 
Form No. 3), in the place where the steam locomotive is maintained and 
with the FRA Regional Administrator for that region. (See appendix A of 
this part)
