    (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.)
