OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 FILE: 4DATE: JUL 2 2 1976 B-184877 ~ MATTER OF: TSGT. Earnest L. Given, USAF, Retired DIGEST: Air Force member who shipped household goods in excess of authorized allowable weight, and had excess costs of such shipment collected from him by Air Force after contesting his indebtedness, may not be reimbursed for such amount, since excess weight is an administrative determination made by a designated officer and this Office would not be warranted in questioning such determination without clear evidence of error. This action is in response to a letter from Technical Sergeant Earnest L. Given, USAF, Retired, requesting reconsideration of our Transportation and Claims Division settlement of January 6, 1975, which disallowed his claim for reimbursement of the amount-- $315.56--collected from him for excess costs incurred in connection with a shipment of his household goods incident to a permanent change of station while serving in the United States Air Force in 1968. By Special Order No. AE-1486, dated September 5, 1968, the member was reassigned on a permanent change of station from Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, to Lowry Air Force Base, Colorado. Incident to his transfer, the member arranged to have his house- hold goods shipped at Government expense through the Lackland AFB Commercial Transportation Office by Government bill of lading (GBL-D4280685, dated September 12, 1968). The member states that on September 18, 1968, a representative of Scoby Moving and Storage Company came to his home and estimated the weight of his household goods to be approximately 6,500 pounds. Thereafter, on September 23, 1968, a representative of the Lackland Commercial Transportation Office estimated the weight of the goods as 7,900 pounds. The member contends that when the commercial truck arrived to pick up his household goods on September 24, 1968, he noticed another shipment already on the truck. Thereafter, the member contends that he was advised by the driver that he had an over- weight shipment and that he was solicited for a bribe by the driver to reduce the weight of his shipment.
