handle is hein.gao/gaobadbyi0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroer General of the United States WaskageeW D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Eck Miller Transportation Corporation - Reconsideration File: B-245385.2 Date: May 20, 1992 DIGEST Request for reconsideration is denied where it essentially only restates arguments in the original request for review, and presents no evidence demonstrating an error in fact or law in the prior debision. DECISION Eck Miller Transpgrtation Corporation, a motor carrier; requests that we reconsider our decision of January 51- 1992, in which we held that the government may alternate rates/charges for shipments weighing 10,000 pounds or more with rates/charges contained in a tender marked for distribution to routing authorities responsible for traffic of less than 10,000 pounds. We deny Eck Miller's request. Eck Miller offered service under two tenders covering the same commodities, and submitted in the Department of Defense's Standard Tender format. Block 17 of the Standard Tender allows the carrier to denote distribution of the tender to routing authorities responsible for shipments of less than 10,000 pounds, or to those responsible for shipments of 10,000 pounds or more, or to both. Eck Miller marked block 17 to denote a different distribution for each tender; the rates in the tenders were different. In our decision, we pointed out that the associated instructions informed the carrier that distribution preference was for administrative purposes only, and we held that distribution preference was unrelated to rate alternation. The carrier bases its request for reconsideration on three grounds. First, it contends that a carrier's intent to distribute a tender for traffic routing purposes only to routing authorities of traffic of less than 10,000 pounds, also means that the rates/charges therein apply only to shipments of less than 10,000 pounds.
