           Decision



           Matterof- Major Edward J. Filiberti - Use of Second
                     Privately Owned Vehicle - Transportation
           File:     of Household Goods
                     B-226048
           Date:    November 8, 1988

           DIGEST

           1. A uniformed service member's use of more than one
           privately owned conveyance in connection with a permanent
           change of station was not authorized for the purpose of
           transporting household goods so as to qualify for an
           additional mileage allowance. Paragraph M7003-2,
           1 Joint Travel Regulations (1 JTR).

           2. If the service determines that a member's goods
           he transported in a second privately owned vehicle
           incident to his change of station were of unusual
           value, such that they would have been shipped separately
           by the service, he may be reimbursed the actual expenses
           he incurred in their transportation. 1 JTR para. M8500.
           Such reimbursement is limited to actual expenses incurred,
           such as gasoline, oil and tolls, and may not exceed what
           it would have cost the government to ship the goods.

           DECISION

           A Finance and Accounting Officer of the Department of
           the Army requests an advance decision concerning the
           propriety of paying a claim of Major Edward J. Filiberti
           for a mileage allowance as reimbursement of expenses
           incurred in the transportation of household goods by a
           second privately owned conveyance in connection with
           his permanent change of station.l/ We conclude that
           Major Filiberti is not entitled Eo the mileage allowance.
           If, however, the service determines that the goods were
           of unusual value, such that the service would have shipped
           them separately, he may be reimbursed the actual cost of
           transporting the goods.


           l/ The request was made by Major J. A. Stout, Headquarters,
           Combined Arms Center and Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. It was
           approved by the Per Diem, Travel and Transportation
           Allowance Committee, and assigned PDTATAC Control No. 86-20.
