handle is hein.gao/gaobadlpn0001 and id is 1 raw text is: OECISION\. . OP THE UNITEO ETATEE WASHINGTON. D.C. 20548 FILE: B-210713 DATE: March 28, 1984 MATTER OF: Charles L. Eppright DIQEST: 1. Based on an alleged discrepancy between the originally determined net weight and the net weight determined upon reweigh, an employee seeks reconsideration of a Comptroller General decision upholding his liability for excess weight charges for shipment of his household goods from Germany to Michigan in 1974. Since padding and bracing included in original net weight was excluded from net weight determined by reweigh, discrepancy does not provide a basis to set aside either weight certificate and weight of shipment was properly determined on basis of reweigh documentation. Since weight of padding and bracing was not included in that net weight figure, employee is not entitled to reduction in net weight by 15 percent allowance for padding and bracing. 2. An employee's liability for transportation of household goods weighing in excess of the statutory maximum is to be determined on the basis of net weight billed by the carrier, notwithstanding the employee's allegation that six inventoried items were missing from the 1974 shipment of house- hold goods. Although the regulations were subsequently changed, the industry prac- tice prior to 1977 was to charge a shipper freight charges based on the weight cer- tificates without reduction for the por- tion of household goods lost or destroyed in shipment. ISSUE The issue presented is whether Mr. Charles L. Eppright has submitted sufficient evidence to support his challenge to the accuracy of several weight certificates issued 62e6Lt I
