       We again refer to your letter of February 9, 1978, pertaining
  to your claim for ocean freight charges of$1,583.30.

       As you may know, prior to the enactment of the[Ge gral Accounting
  Office Act of 1974, Pub. L. No. 93-604, 88 Stat. 1959, the General
  Accounting Office was responsible for the auditing and adjusting
  of payments for transportation services furnished for the account
  of the United States. ,However, Pub. L. N,9. 93-604 amended the
  Transportation Act Of 1940, 49 U.S.C. 66r(Supp. V, 1975), and trans-
  ferred the authority for the audit of traisportation payments from
  the Comptroller General to the Administralor of General Services, or
  his designee.

       The General Services/ Administration (GSA) has promulgated regula-
  tions pertaining to its (audit Of tirnsportation services. 41 C.FoRo
  101-41V'(1977). SubpartAl0l-41.600Ysets forth procedures applicable

  included in the original billing. 41 C.F.R. l0I-41.601(a) (1977).

       Since your claim is for additional transportation charges not
  included in an original billing, this Office aoes not have the
  authority to consider it at this time. Howe er, to prevent further
  delay, we are forwarding your claim, together. with a report furnished
  to us by the Department of the Army, directl-y to GSA for its handling.
  And any further correspondence regarding yout claim ;hould be
