Metal Corporation DIGEST: Where carrier without required Interstate Commerce Com- mission operating authority performs interstate trans- portation services on Government bill of lading, its properly certified voucher for those services may be paid on quantum meruit basis. Marilyn N. Barclay, an authorized certifying officer of the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MESA), United Ptates Deparlme=. of Labor, requests an advance decision pursuant U.S.C. § 82d (1976). Her question concerns theropriety of ar totaling $71,987 for the transportarion in Januaty 1975 of heavy and bulky Government equipment, weighing a total of 719,870 pounds, on Government bill of lading (GBL) No. L-0097820 by Y.W. & T. Metal Corporation (Y.W.&T.) from Barstow, California, to Casa Grande, Arizona, in conjunction with the operation of a training institute under a Government grant. The specific voucher which gives rise to the question was not submitted with the request. See 52 Comp. Gen. 83 (1972). See, also, 41 C.F.R. 101-41.302-1(m) (1978) , which prescribes SF-1113, Public Voucher for Transportation Charges, for use in billing for trans- portation services performed on GBLs. A copy of GBL No. L-0097820, which is illegible in part, to- gether with copies of other documents, have been provided in support of the claim. The Department of Labor advised this Office infor- mally that the location of the original GBL is unknown. In this connection, see 41 C.F.R. 101-41.307-1 (1978), which provides that when the original of the regular GBL has been lost or destroyed, the billing carrier shall use the original freight waybill, properly certified by the issuing office and by the carrier, as a substitute document for billing the charges. The Interstate Commerce Commission has advised us informally that in January 1975 Y.W. & T. was not authorized to transport property in interstate commerce as required by the Interstate Commerce Act, 49 U.S.C. 1 et seq. (1976).
