forth in part 230 of this chapter or by reason of any other condition 
rendering the locomotive unsafe, he or she will notify the railroad in 
writing that the locomotive is not in serviceable condition. After 
receipt of the Special Notice, the railroad shall remove the locomotive 
from service until it is restored to serviceable condition. The 
locomotive may not be deemed to be in serviceable condition until it 
complies with all applicable requirements of parts 229 and 230 of this 
chapter and until all additional deficiencies identified in the Special 
Notice have been corrected.
    (b) The carrier shall notify the FRA Regional Administrator in 
writing when the locomotive is returned to service, specifying the 
repairs completed. The carrier officer or employee directly responsible 
for the repairs shall subscribe this writing under oath.
