handle is hein.gao/gaobadlre0001 and id is 1 raw text is: TH COMPTROLLER MENENAL OCIION OP THE UNITED ETATES WAGMINGTON. 0.C. 20540 FILE: B-213755 DATE: May 2, 1984 MATTER OF: Starflight, Inc. DIGEST: 1. While a transportation overcharge claim by the General Services Administration generally is not reviewable by the GAO until the disputed amount has been deducted by the government, 4 C.F.R. § 53 (1983), GAO will review the validity of the carrier's allegations where the parties expect a decision after full development of record. 2. Although carrier's business document indicates a request for priority service, carrier has failed to sustain the burden of showing a request for such service since the bill of lading, which constitutes the contract of carriage, did not bear a notation requesting. such service as required by the governing tariff and the con- tracting agency reports that no such service was requested. Starflight, Inc. (Starflight), requests review of the audit action by the General Services Administration (GSA) on one shipment of explosives from Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, to Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona, under government bill of lading (GBL) No. S-5779164, dated February 10, 1983, and on a shipment of guns from Aberdeen Proving Ground to Sharpe Army Depot, Georgia, under GBL No. S-5779165, dated February 10, 1983. We agree with GSA's action. For the services rendered Starflight claimed and was paid charges for priority air service set-forth in Star- flight tender No. 15. On audit of the payments GSA computed the applicable freight charges on the basis of Starflight tender No. 14 for regular air service and determined that Starflight had been overpaid $1,502.54 on the first shipment and $1-,381.04 on the second shipment. GSA has issued a notice of overcharge to Starflight, but has not as of this date collected the overcharge.
