Tired soul is correct. I just endorsed a successful applicant and you submit the application to the FSDO and they respond fairly quickly whether or not they can accommodate your request for a Initial CFI checkride. If they cannot, the FSDO sends you a list of approved DPEs that can administer the ride.

From what I have heard it depends on the FSDO, but generally the policy has been that you first contact the FSDO and they decide if the ride will be with an Inspector or DPE. Some FSDOs will allow you to pick the DPE, and I have heard of others assigning you to a certain DPE. For a period of time my local FSDO was doing every CFI ride, other times they were sending them all to DPEs due to staffing. I'd call in and check with them first. I suppose if you directly called a DPE they could give you the scoop as well.
