The carrier contends that a rules tariff, governing the tender, restricted application of the tender's lower LTL rates to shipments weighing less than 20,000 pounds. GSA, however, has shown that the edition of the tender in effect at the time the carrier received this shipment was not governed by the rules tariff containing the weight limit on LTL rates. Therefore, the lower rates originally billed were applicable, anl GSA's settlement action is sustained. DECISION This decision responds to a request by Consolidated Freiqhtways (CF) for review of settlement action taken by the General Services Administration (GSA) in which GSA disallowed CF's claim for additional transportation charges. We sustain GSA's action.l/ BACKGROUND For the transportation of a government shipment received by CF on March 28, 1985, weighing 24,888 pounds,2/ CF collected charges that were based on an offer in its Rate Tender 1186 to transport Freight All Kinds for the United l/ GSA's Settlement Certificate, TK-T-2037209, dated April 30, 1986. 2/ CF received the shipment, which consisted of machinery parts, NOI, conduits, valves, etc. on Government Bill of Lading T-2037209, at Oqden, Utah, for transportation to Norfolk, Virginia.
