Decision



Matterof:   Michael A. Weedman - Transportation of 4ousehold
            Goods - Commuted Rate
File:       B-226666

Date:       November 23, 1987


DIGEST

A transferred employee was authorized shipment and storage
of his household goods on a commuted rate basis, and he
claims reimbursement for the difference between the higher
actual published tariff costs on the storage portion and the
lower commuted rate published in GSA Bulletin FPMR A-2.
The claim is denied since an administrative determination
has been made to use the commuted rate basis, and payment
can only be authorized on that basis.


DECISION

This decision is in response to a request by the Finance
and Accounting Officer, Department of the Army, Baltimore
District, Corps of Engineers, for an advance decision
concerninq the claim of Mr. Michael A. Weedman.
Mr. Weedman claims reimbursement of S567.60 which represents
the difference between the actual expenses incurred for the
storage of his household goods incident to a permanent
change of station and the amount he was reimbursed under a
commuted rate schedule. Mr. Weedman's claim is denied since
there is no authority for reimbursement of actual expenses
in these circumstances.

BACKGROUND

Louisville, Kentucky to Aberdeen Provinq Ground, Maryland,
  in October 1984. Travel orders were issued October 5, 1984,
  which authorized Mr. Weedman to shit his household goods
  using the commuted rate system and to temporarily store his
  household goods for 60 days. Mr. Weedman's household goods
  were picked up October 12, 1984, and placed in storage for
  50 days. These household qoods were then delivered to
  Mr. Weedman's new residence on December 2, 1984.
