7、ages in a sum certain for injury to, or loss of, property or for personal injury or death, alleged to have occurred by reason of the inci-dent. A claim which should have been presented to the FAA but which was mistakenly filed with another Federal agency, is deemed presented to the FAA on the date t
8、he claim is received by the FAA at a place designated in paragraph (b) of this section. A claim addressed to, or filed with, the FAA by mistake will be transferred to the ap-propriate Federal agency, if that agen-cy can be determined, or returned to the claimant. (b) Claims shall be delivered or mai
