                            Subpart A_General

 

Sec.  230.14  Thirty-one (31) service day inspection.



    (a) General. An individual competent to conduct the inspection shall 

perform the 31 service day inspection after the steam locomotive has 

accrued 31 service days. This inspection shall consist of all 31 service 

day inspection items and all daily inspection items. See appendix A of 

this part. Days in service shall be counted, recorded and readily 

available for inspection when requested by an FRA inspector.

    (b) FRA notification. FRA Regional Administrators or their 

delegate(s) may require a steam locomotive owner or operator to provide 

FRA with timely notification before performing a 31 service day 

inspection. If the Regional Administrator or their delegate indicates 

their desire to be present for the 31 service day inspection, the steam 

locomotive owner and/or operator shall provide them a scheduled date and 

location for 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 conducting the 31 

service day inspection, the steam locomotive owner and/or operator shall 

file, for each steam locomotive inspected, a report of inspection (FRA 

Form No. 1), in the place where the steam locomotive is maintained and 

with the FRA Regional Administrator for that region. When the report of 

annual inspection ( FRA Form No. 3), is filed, the FRA Form No. 1 does 

not have to be filed until the next 31 service day inspection. (See 

Appendix B of this part.)
