Wilson - Transportation of House- hold Goods - Excess Weight - DIGEST: Reconsideration / In James C. Wilson, 62 Comp. Gen. 19 (1982), we stated that to correct error resulting from invalidation of weight certificates the constructive weight of the household goods shipment should be computed and substituted for the incorrect actual weight. However, where constructive weight was unobtain- able, and mover's evidence supporting revised weight determination, which was unrebutted by employee, was the only evidence of record on the correct weight of the shipment, and that weight was not unreasonable, we held that ex- cess weight charges should be computed on the revised weight. In requesting reconsideration the employee has not met his burden of showing a material mistake of law or fact in our prior decision, and has presented no further evidence as to the weight of his house- hold goods. Mr. James C. Wilson has requested reconsideration of our prior decision in his case, B-206704, October 28, 1982 (published as 62 Comp. Gen. 19 (1982)), which established his liability for excess weight charges incurred in the transportation of his household goods in connection with his official change of station. Upon reconsideration, for the reasons set forth below, we affirm our disallowance of Mr. Wilson's claim. On November 30, 1978, Mr. Wilson's household goods were moved under Government Bill of Lading No. L-0364516 from Meridian, Idaho, to Kirkland, Washington, because of his transfer of official station as an employee of the Department of Health and Human Services. The carrier's invoice for this shipment included charges for 15,300 pounds of household goods. Applying the 11,000 pound limitation set out in 5 U.S.C. 5 5724(a)(2) and the procedure prescribed by paragraphs 2-6.3b(5) and 2-8.4e(2)
