Your local FSDO probably has a list Brad.

I don't know if it is the same in all FSDOs but for the Orlando FSDO most initial CFI checkride are given by a DPE but they are assigned by the FSDO, you don't get to pick your DPE.

This is true for Denver also, assuming "initials" means "CFI initial checkride". You schedule the ride with the FSDO, they assign the DPE they want to give it.
