Coffman DIGEST: Employee, who transported his household goods in a private automobile during a permanent change-of-station move, may not be reimbursed under the commuted rate system. Under applicable regula- tions the constructive weight of goods under the commuted rate system may be computed only on the basis of properly loaded van space. In addition, the em- ployee may not be reimbursed for a house-hunting trip which was not au- thorized in advance, and the employee's mileage allowance may not be increased to include the travel of family members who did not move to the new duty station within 2 years of the effective date of the employee's transfer. Mr. Vester D. Coffman requests reconsideration of his claim for transportation of additional household goods, a house-hunting trip, and an increased mileage allowance for his transfer from Forest Park, Illinois, to Crane, Indiana, in 1971.1 We conclude that he is not entitled to reimburse- ment for those items and sustain the denial of his claim. BACKGROUND Mr. Coffman, an employee of the Department of the Navy, was authorized permanent change of duty station allowances for his transfer from the Naval Ordnance Station, Forest Park, Illinois, to the Naval Ammunition Depot, Crane, Indiana, in travel orders issued on January 5, 1971. He re- ported for work at his new duty station on January 11, 1971. However, his family did not move to the new duty sta- tion until February 1973. Mr. Coffman requests reconsideration of the action of our Claims Division (now Claims Group, AFMD) in Settlement Certificate Number Z-2513078 issued March 30, 1978, and that settlement is reviewed here under the provisions of 4 C.F.R. part 32..
