 MATTER   OF:) Hilldrup Transfer & Storage p /3SQ
              Co.--Reconsideration

 DIGEST:

       Where request for reconsideration
       presents no evidence demonstrating
       error in fact or law in previous
       decision and no arguments not pre-
       viously considered, decision is
       affirmed.

       Hilldrup Transfer & Storage Company (Hilldrup)
  requests reconsideration of our decision in 58 Comp.
  Gen. 375 (1979), which sustained deduction action
  taken in November 1978 by the General Services    17
  Administration (GSA) to recover an overcharge col-
  lected by Hilldrup on a shipment of household goods
  owned by a member of the military. The facts in
  this case were fully stated in the decision and will
  not be repeated except as pertinent to the present
  discussion of the case. For the reasons stated
  below, our decision is affirmed.

       The overcharge of $494.02 represents the differ-
  ence in transportation charges between the $2,465.90
  Hilldrup collected, derived from Government and Mili-
  tary Rate Tender No. 1-H, I.C.C. No. 35 (Tender 1-H),
  and $1,971.88 derived from Florida Household Goods
  Carriers' Bureau Tariff 13, HG-FPSC 13 (Tariff 13),
  GSA's audit basis. Most of this overcharge repre-
  sents a bridge charge of $4.00 per 100 pounds, found
  in item 150 of Tender 1-H and applicable to transpor-
  tation performed through Islamorada, Florida, and
  points south and west in the Florida Keys. The
  bridge charge was not contained in the Florida intra-
  state tariff.

       In its request for reconsideration, Hilldrup
  reiterates its belief that there is a substantial
  difference between the services required by the mili-
  tary and those required by commercial shippers, and
