handle is hein.gao/gaobadlbt0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THEi COINPTROLLER GE'JReEALIO DECIION • . OF THE UNITED 1TATB 9 WASHINoTON. 0. C. 20548 FILE: B-209953 DATE: May 18, 1983 MATTER OF: Henry R. Radoski DIGEST: Employee who was transferred to Washington, D.C., from Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts, incident to a reduction in force may not be relieved of cost of shipping household goods in excess of his authorized weight. Although reduction-in-force action that resulted in transfer was cancelled, the Government may not incur charges for cost of shipping goods in excess of weight authorized by 5 U.S.C. S 5724(a). By letter of November 5, 1982, Mr. Henry R. Radoski, appealed the action of Claims Group, AFMD, in Settlement Certificate No. Z-2821719, issued October 29, 1982, which disallowed his claim for the cost of shipping household goods in excess of the authorized weight. We affirm the denial of Mr. Radoski's claim since there is no authority to pay for the shipment of household goods in excess of the authorized weights contained in Volume 2 of the Joint Travel Regulations (2 JTR), paragraph C8000, even though the reduction-in-force action that resulted in the employee's transfer was determined to have been improper. Mr. Radoski, an employee of the Department of the Air Force, was transferred from Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts, to Bolling Air Force Base, Washington, D.C., under travel authorization No. A-553, dated June 18, 1976, as amended. He was authorized transportation of the maximum amount of household goods as provided by 5 U.S.C. S 5724(a) under a Government bill of lading. The actual weight of goods shipped by Mr. Radoski exceeded that maximum amount, and he was billed by the Air Force for $606.40, the cost of shipping the excess goods. Mr. Radoski contends that he should not be required to pay the cost of shipping the excess weight because he was transferred as a result of a reduction-in-force action which was subsequently cancelled by the Appeals Review Board, United States Civil Service Commission, on August 31, 1978. Mr. Radoski believes that since the reduction-in-force procedure which caused his transfer was invalidated, he should not be held liable for the excess moving costs incurred incident to his transfer.
