D.C. 20548 DEC 8 1975 0 9 -7,30 Marylinda Wheeler - Excess transportation and CAQ1 6ISQ temporary storage costs 1. Under 2 JTR para. C7053 employee returning from overseas for separation where Government quarters are provided is authorized to ship 2, 000 pounds of household goods and temporarily store these goods for 60 days. Although employee made every effort to avoid excess weight, she was not advised of the excess weight until it was too late to reduce the shipment. Additionally she exceeded the time-limit for temporary storage as a result of delay in agency responding to her request for amended orders. There is no authority for the Government to pay transportation and temporary storage costs in excess of that authorized by regulation. 2. Employee returning from overseas for separation was authorized to ship professional books, papers, and equipment in addition to the weight authorized for shipment of household goods. However, em- ployee's claim that certain items should have been shipped as professional goods and not included in the weight of household goods may not be allowed since these items were not separately packed, marked. weighed, or declared as required by regulations. Moreover, weight that might have been deducted for these items cannot now be properly determined. This action is a reconsideration of a settlement certificate issued by the Transportation and Claims Division of our Office on June 4, 1974, disallowing the claim of Miss Marylinda Wheeler for reim- bursement for the excess costs of transportation and temporary storage of her household goods incident to her separation from over- seas employment with the Department of the Air Force. In 1973 Miss Wheeler returned to the United States from Japan incident to her separation as a teacher for the overseas dependent schools. By a travel order dated April 24, 1973, she was authorized to transport not to exceed 2, 000 pounds of household goods and to temporarily store such goods for not more than 60 days at Government 48 B-1826 R OF: FILE: MATTEF DIGEST: '.
