DECISION


k. #i


FIE: B- f'
F- E: B986


DATE: March '26,


MATTER OF:   George R. Halpin - Transportation of
              Household Goods - Excess Wei ht


Employee may not be relieved
of liability for cost of ship-
ping household goods in excess I
of statutory amount of 11,000
pounds. Question whether and    i
to what extent authorized weights,
have been exceeded is question
of fact for administrative deter-
mination and will not be questioned
in absence of evidence showing
it to be clearly in error. Weight
of shipment was established at
origin by weight certificate and
no sufficient evidence has been
presented to show that weight
is incorrect. Weight of a prior
or subsequent move is not indica-
tive of the weight of the move
in question because of t-he possi-
bility of inclusion or exclusion
of items which would vary the
prior or subsequent weights.


     This action is in response to a request by
 Simone J. LeRoux, Acting Chief, Accountina Section, Go
'Office of the Controller, Drug Enforcement Adminis-
tration (DEA), Department of Justice, for our
decision whether Mr. George R. Halpin, an employee
of the agency, is liable for excess costs of $480
for transportation of household effects in excess
of 11,000 pounds.

     For the reasons set forth below, we determine
 that Mr. Halpin is liable.

     The record shows that Mr. Halpin and his
dependents were transferred from Chicago, Illinois,
to Los Angeles, California, as authorized in a DEA
permanent change of station authorization dated
July 6, 1977. In connection with his transfer, the
