              MATTER OF: Wayne I. Tucker


              DIGEST:

              1.  When tare (container) weight is not
                  on Government bill of lading (GBL),
                  it is determined by subtracting net
                  weight from gross weight.

              2.  Lift vans and overflow box are con-
                  tainers within meaning of paragraph
                  2-8.2b(3) of Federal Travel Regula-
                  tions (FTR); thus net weight of house-
                  hold goods shipment is determined by
                  applying 85 percent to gross weight
                  and subtracting weight of containers.

              3.,,,. Under usual household goods carriers'
                 I Tender of Service net weight of con-
                   tainerized shipment contains weight
                   of packing and household goods.

              4.  Assessment of excess weight against
                  employee was improper where excess
                  weight was determined on basis of
                  net weight shown on GBL; proper
                  formula for determining net weight
                  of containerized shipment in para-
                  graph 2-8.2b(3) of FTR results in
                  net weight below employee's author-
                  ized maximum weight.

                  A certifying officer, Office of Management and
              Support, Department of Energy, Dallas, Texas, requests an
              advance decision pursuant to the act of Decembe-r2, 1941,
              55 Stat. 876, 31 U.S.C. 82d, concerning the proper method
              for determining the net weight of the household goods of
              an employee on change of station.

                   In connection with the permanent change of official
              station of Wayne I .Tucker, the Government arranged for the
              transportation of his household goods from Panama, Canal
