Miller - Reimbursement for Transportation of Mobile Bome Incident to transfer to Alaska, employee transported mobile home from Keyser, West Virginia, to Seattle, Washington, where it was determined that it did not meet Alaskan specifications. Employee stored trailer in Seattle and completed shipment of household goods to Alaska on Government Bill of L.-;ding (GBL). Regarding reimbursement for transportation of mobile home, rule in 39 Comp. Gen. 40 (1954) is applicable. Credit should be allowed under FTR para. 2-7. 3a for shipment of mobile home from Keyser to Seattle. Em- ployee is not entitled to further allowance under au- thorization for shipment of household goods on GBL. Total payment under both authorizations may not ex- ceed cost which would have been incurred by Government had either method been used for entire distance. This action is in response to a request for an advance decision by Mr. M. E. Shields, Disbursing Officer, Corps of Engineers, Depart- ment of the Army. The request was forwarded by the Per Diem, Travel, and Transportation Allowance Committee, which assigned it PDTATAC Control No. 75-10. The record indicates that Mr. Mitchell R. Miller, an employee of the Corps of Engineers, was issued PCS Travel Order No. FY 75-723, dated October 17, 1974, authorizing his transfer from Keyser, West Virginia, to Fairbanks, Alaska. The orders authorized transportation of a mobile home from Keyser to Fairbanks for use as a residence. Prior to the shipment of the mobile home, Mr. Miller contacted the manufacturer of the mobile home in order to ascertain whether it met the specifications required by the state of Alaska for mobile homes. The manufacturer apparently assured Mr. Miller that the mobile home did meet such specifications. However, when the mobile home reached Seattle, Wiashington, it was denied shipment to Alaska on the basis that it did not meet Alaskan specifications. Mr. Miller's travel orders were then amended canceling transportation of the mobile home from Seattle to Fairbanks and, in lieu thereof, au- thorizing transportation of household effects from Seattle to Fairbanks, in addition to authorizing 60 days temporary storage.
