Because the last time it came up (at least that I specifically know about), they were quick to allow a DPE to do it.

A DPE cannot give a 44709 exam. Let me qualify that, A DPE is not suppose to be designated to give a 44709 exam.

My reference: http://fsims.faa.gov/PICResults.aspx?mode=SubjectCategories&area=05&subject=02&regulation=all

FAA Order 8900
Conduct a Reexamination Test of an Airman under Title 49 of the United States Code (49 U.S.C.)

5-1422 INSPECTOR QUALIFICATIONS. Inspectors must be qualified in the aircraft. An inspector conducting a reexamination test shall hold the same aircraft category and class ratings that the airman is being tested on. (A designated pilot examiner shall not conduct a reexamination test.)

- - - -

But many things happen that are not in the book.....
 
Well, the DPE was somewhat skeptical himself...I won't divulge the exact circumstances, but it's entirely possible that they were able to call it something else.

Fly safe!
