handle is hein.gao/gaobabkea0001 and id is 1 raw text is: UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 OFICE OF GENERAL COUNSL B-200038 August 31, 1981 Albert L. Lefkowitz, Esq. Attorney & Counselor at Law 90-30 Metropolitan Avenue Rego Park, New York 11374 Dear Mr. Lefkowitz: By your letter of April 20, 1981, you allege that the General Services Administration (GSA) through the Army Claims Service (Army) is withholding approximately $14,000 due Ship-Rite Transporters, Inc. (Ship-Rite), for overcharges owing by Empire Household Shipping Company of New York, Inc. (Empire). You request review of the actioniof GSA under the provi- sions of 31 U.S.C. § 244(b) (Supp. III, 1979) and 4 C.F.R. § 53 (1981). GSA reports it is not aware of any funds due Ship-Rite or being withheld on behalf of GSA. Sec- tion 322 of the Transportation Act of 1940, 54 Stat. 955, as amended, 31 U.S.C. S 244 (Supp. III, 1979), and our implementing regulations, 4 C.F.R. § 53 (1981), provide for review by the Comptroller General of action on a carrier's claim by the GSA. In the present instance there has been no action by GSA which would form the basis of a claim. Consequently, your claim is not a proper subject of review under these provisions. We understand that Army recovered by set-off from Ship-Rite for loss or damage in transit on the lines of Empire. These claims have been referred to the Department of Justice and have been or will be included in United States v. Empire Household Shipping Company, et al., in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York; Civil Action CV-80-2014. Ship-Rite has been made a party-defendant in this proceeding. 60//c25s
