Joseph H. Baylis - Excess Weig  t)f Hous  ld    24C)
Goods


Employee was transferred from Denver to Los Angeles.
Before most of his household effects were shipped to
Los Angeles, he was retransferred to Sacramento, a
location farther from Denver. He is entitled to
mileage based on the greater distance from the
original station to the final station in determining
the commuted payment covering the transportation of
the household effects.  However, total reimbursement
for actual successive transfers may not exceed the
reimbursement the employee would otherwise have been
entitled for ciph transfer individually. Further,
maximum weight which may be transported incident to
any one transfer at Government expense is subject
to 11,000 pound limitation in 5 U.S.C. 0 5724.


      This decision responds to the request dated March 17, 1975, of
Elaine K. Shellanan, an authorized certifying officer of the Federal
Mtediation and Conciliation Service, concerning the voucher of Mr. Joseph H.
Baylis for payment of $1,756.53 in connection with the movemient of 9,480
pounds of household effects incident to his succes3ive changes of station
from Denver, Colorado, to Los Angeles, California, and from Los Angeles to
Sacramento, California, pursuant to Authorizations for Travel Nos. 0-74-75,
September 26, 1973, abd 0-73-95, June 5, 1973.

      For both changes of station from Denver to Los Angeles and from
Los Angeles to Sacrtmento, Mr. Baylis was authorized to transport house-
hold effects.  Mr. Baylis was reimbursed $117.29 for 740 pounds of house-
hold goods as a partial shipment from his home near Denver to Los Angeles,
and later $263.11 for 1,520 pounds of household goods shipped from
Los Angeles to Sacramcnto.  However, he was transferred to Sacramento
before most of his household goods could be shipped to Los Angeles.
Consequently, he ordered those goods to be shipped directly from the
Denver area to the Sacramento area.

      On September 11, 1974, Mr. Baylis submitted an additional claim for
$1,756.53 for the final shipment of 9,480 pounds of household goods from
Denver to Sacramento.  Mr. Baylis actually shipped 12,400 pounds, but he
claimed only 9,480 pounds, representing the difference between the 11,000
