B-201549 1 (1981-01-13)

handle is hein.gao/gaobacutm0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO United States General Accounting Office Washington, DC 20543 Office of General Counsel In Reply, Referto: .8-201549 Illinois-California Express, Inc. 510 East 51st Avenue Denver, Colorado 80216 4, : y 7 Attention: Charles D. Loflin - IOvercharge Claims Manager a Gentlemen: '7tfI' / Subj e ct: I.C.X. claim O/C 800056 GSA claim TACA/L-1265141 Yellow file 11 193914 Your letter of December 8, 1980, requests that we join Illinois-California Express, Inc. (ICX) with Yellow Freight System, Inc. (Yellow) in a proceeding initiated in this Office by Yellow. Apparently, you refer to our file, B-199805, in which Yellow requested review of deduction action that was taken by the General Services Administration (GSA) to recover overcharges collected by that carrier. In B-199805 Yellow disputed GSA's audit basis, which was item 3860 of U.S. Government Quotation ICC RMB Q15-D. The question of item 3860's application requires interpre- tation of the abbreviation LTL as it appears in note 1 of the item. As you point out, note 1 provides that the applicable rates under item 3860 are the currently applicable class 55 LTL rates published in various tariffs. You agree with Yellow that the higher class 55 tariff rates applicable to shipments weighing less than 500 pounds also apply to ship- ments of greater weights despite the publication of lower class 55 rates for shipments weighing 1,000; 2,000; 5,000; 10,000; and 20,000 pounds. The apparent basis for that position is that under the scale (weight) column in the tariff rate schedules, shipments of less than 500 pounds are referred to as LTL. The Comptroller General issued a decision in Matter of Yellow Freight System, Inc., B-199805, on December 29, 1980, 3 IJL/cV4
