DECISION





FILE:  B-199110


THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL
OF THE UNITED BTATES
WASHINGTON.  D. C. 20548



      DATE: March 30, 1981


MATTER OF: Major Arthur F. Millard, USA


An Army officer transferred on permanent
change of station orders from San Francisco,
California, to Fort McPherson, Georgia,
authorized his household goods to be placed
in temporary storage by his wife. The goods
were stored in Oakland, California, for 4
months and then, on instructions from the
member and his wife, delivered to an address
in San Francisco. Member is liable for the
temporary storage charges since the intra-
city drayage may not be considered shipment
and temporary storage in connection with
intracity drayage is not authorized.


     The issue presented in this case upon an appeal
from a settlement of our Claims Division is whether a
member of the aniformed.fervices on a permanent change
of station isigntitleqo temporary storage of house-
hold goods where the goods were moved from-4overnment
quarters to a storage facility and then to a residence
in the same city as the old duty station. Since tempo-
rary storage in connection with intracity drayage is
not authorized, the answer is no.

     Major Arthur F. Millard, USA, was directed in
August 1978 to make a permanent change of station
from the Presidio of San Francisco, California, to
Fort McPherson, Georgia. Some of Major Millard's
goods apparently were shipped to the new duty station
in October 1978 at his request. But on an application
for shipment and/or storage of personal property
(DD Form 1299) Major Millard authorized the greater
part of his goods (which weighed 6,200 pounds) to be
placed in Temporary Storage or as designated by
Donalinda Millard or Captain Robert V. Masenga, JAGC.
The agent designated on the Form 1299 to receive the
property at destination was Major Millard's wife,
Donalinda Millard. Apparently, Mrs. Millard was not
accompanying Major Millard to his new duty station.
She was authorized to remain in Government quarters at
the Presidio of San Francisco until November 6, 1978.
