Just curious to know if anybody knows or has heard of a FSDO or inspector that will renew a CFI certificate for a current 121 SIC?

I've heard of several FSDOs processing the renewal for current 121 PICs without the need for a FIRC, under the "duties and responsibilities" of 61.197. Just not sure if anybody has heard of them doing it for an SIC.

Would love to avoid having to do a FIRC if I can help it.
