MATTER   OF:  Freeport Fast Freight, Inc.


DIGEST:

1.   In determining whether billing carrier is
     last (delivering) carrier in privity with
     contract of carriage, and entitled to
     payment of transportation charges under
     41 CFR 101-41.302-3(a)(1) and 101-41.310-4
     (a)(1), General Services Administration
     (GSA) regulations authorize Government
     agency to look to properly accomplished,
     covering Government bill of lading (GBL).

2.   Under Transportation Payment Act of 1972,
     49 U.S.C. 66(c) (1976), and Government
     payment regulations, properly accomplished
     GBL is one on which billing carrier certifies
     that it made delivery, there being no need
     for consignee's certificate.

3.   Where billing carrier was issued GBL, it
     actually performed major part of transpor-
     tation services, and presented properly accom-
     plished GBL showing it as delivering carrier,
     Government agency correctly paid origin
     (billing) carrier, even though claimant
     actually performed delivery.

     Under 4 CFR Part 53 (1980), Freeport Fast Freight
(Freeport) requests review of settlement action taken
by the General Services Administration (GSA) on Free-
port's claim for transportation charges relating to a
shipment of Government property that was transported
from Richmond, Virginia, to Rock Island, Illinois, on
Government bill of lading (GBL) N-0056810, dated
July 18, 1978.
