handle is hein.gao/gaobadhvh0001 and id is 1 raw text is: V THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL DECISION (.OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, O.C. 20546 FILE: B-195219 DATE: December 27, 1979 MATTER OF: AA Sunshine Movers, Inc. A [a-%7'/r/u-i A/ / c57X / DIGEST: 1. Where tender and intrastate tariff covered same services and same extra services, rates and changes in int.rastate tariff are otherwise applicable within meaning of alternation provision in tender. 2. Different length of time permitted for storage in transit under tender as opp'osed to under intrastate tariffs does not con- stitute different service. AA Sunshine Movers, Inc. (Sunshine) requests review of the audit action taken by the Office of Transportation Audits of the General Services Administration (GSA) on Government bills of lading Nos. K-1024641, K-1025317, K-1025432, and K-1025795. After auditing the four bills, GSA notified Sunshine of overcharges totaling $1,351.31. Further action on these overcharges is being held in abeyance pending this review. Comptroller General re- view of GSA's audit action is authorized by 49 U.S.C. 66(b) (1976), and 4 C.F.R. 53.3 (1978). Sunshine transported four shipments of household goods, property of military personnel, from Key West, Florida, to various Florida intrastate destinations between August 1975, and September 1976, when weight restrictions were in effect on the overseas highway, U.S. Route 1. This restriction is a bridge charge of $4 per 100 pounds found in item 150 of Government and Military Rate Tender No. 1-H, I.C.C. No. 35 (Tender 1-H), upon which Sunshine based its charges. GSA's audit basis is derived from lower charges published in Florida Household Goods Carriers' Bureau Tariff 13, HG-FPSC 13 (one shipment moved under Tariff No. 12, the predecessor of Tariff 13). GSA contends that the Florida tariffs are applicable to the four ifitrastate shipments. The Florida tariffs do not contain a bridge charge.
