The Accounting and Finance Officer, Defense Logistics Agency, requested an advince decision on the propriety of reimbursing Mr, Warren G. Fisher for a fufl surcharge paid in connection with the transportation of t.is mobile home bbtween duty stations. This request was forwarded through the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee and assigned control numbers 81-25 and 81-33. We find that the fuel surcharge is an nllowable expense for which Mr. Fisher may be reimbursed. The record shows that in Febtuary 1981 the mobile home of Mr. Warren G. Fisher, an employee of the Defense Logistics Agency, was transported by National Trailer Convoy, Inc., from Indianapolis, Indiana, to Tampa, Florida, in connection with Mr. Fisher's permanent change of duty station. The charges on the bill of lading included a $330.30 fuel sur- charge in addition to the base tariff charge of $1,835. The Accounting and Finance officer inquires whether the surcharge is a reimbursablehitem, or whether it is a special service charge which applicable regulations exclude from reimbursement. Pursuant to 5 U98.C. § 5724(b), the Federal Travel Regu- lations (FTR)(FPMR 101-7) at paragraph 2-7.la permit an em- ployee who is entitled to the transportation of household goods to an allowance for the transportation of a modile home for use as a residence in lieu of the transportation of household goods. In providing for computation of the allowance, paragraph 2-7.3a(1) states in part: (1) Tariff rates. The allowance shall includethe'scharges for actual trans- portation of the mobile home in an amount not exceeding the applicable tariff as approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission (or - -. *7-j. ~-y %-q-.bq -. *w.. --~* - -*.~ 0; - ~ yE.
