IE you’re still responsible for the SC RAP prior to report as you don’t own the rotation and they could remove it.
Safe bet would be to report at 1005.
What about §23.S.9.b.2)?

If I'm departing for that hypothetical 1400 assignment, I'm no longer contactable. The risk involved is that the hypothetical 1005 report gets assigned before I depart, but after I would've had to have left for 1005--but, of course, that close in to my earliest contact time, I'm not worried about that (as Tennis alluded). What we really need is a SC version of §23.S.5.e. (non-contactable during ___ hours prior to scheduled report; I'd suggest 10 as a minimum starting point, aligned with 117 rest). If the company doesn't want SC to be non-contactable, they need merely refrain from pre-posting SC assignments....
