WASHINGTON, 0.C. 2054S FILE: B-206704 DATE: (crcn'r 29, 10P,2 MATTER OF: James C. Wilson - Transportation of Household Goods - Excess Weight DIGEST: 1. Transferred employee was assessed weight charges for 4,300 pounds over statutory maximum household goods ship- ment of 11,000 pounds. Mover admitted that weight certificates were invalid because 200 pounds unrelated to employ- ee's move were included in weight due to unintended error and for which mover made refund to Government. The invalida- tion of the weight certificates does not mean that the Government may not claim excess weight costs in the move; rather, a constructive shipment weight should be obtained under paragraph 2-8.2b(4) of the Federal Travel Regulations. 2. To correct error resulting from in- validation of weight certificates the constructive weight of the household goods shipment should be computed and substituted for the incorrect actual weight. Where the constructive weight under paragraph 2-8.2b(4) is unobtainable the weight of the shipment must be de- termined by other reasonable means. Here mover's evidence supporting revised con- structive weight determination is un- rebutted by employee, is the only, evidence of record on the correct weight of the shipment, and is not unreasonable. Excess weight charges should be computed on the revised constructive weight. Mr. James C. Wilson has been notified by the De- partment of Health and Human Services of his obligation to reimburse the Government for excess weight charges in connection with the shipment of his household goods upon transfer of official duty station in November 1978.
