C. 20548 FILE: B-219924 DATE: March 24, 1986 MATTER OF: C. I. Whitten Transfer Company DIGEST: 1. A carrier's tariff, offering released value rates to the public generally, contained a provision increasing line- haul charges by 25 percent where a shipper failed to annotate the Bill of Lading in specified form declaring the value of the property. Condition 5, now published at 41 C.F.R. 5 101-4.302-3(e), among the provisions governing Government Bill of Lading shipments, substantially complies with the tariff's formal annota- tion requirement. Therefore, the General Services Administration's disallowance of the carrier's claim for an additional 25 percent of original charges is sustained. 2. Government foreign military sales ship- ments, for which the Government is to be reimbursed, were shipped on Government Bills of Lading. Neither Bagett Transportation Company, Inc., 670 F.2d 1011 (Ct. Cl. 1982), which held that section 22 rates are not applicable to foreign military sales shipments, nor any other authority prohibits the use of Government Bills of Lading and the appli- cation of their provisions for such shipments. C. I. Whitten Transfer Company, a motor carrier, asks for review of action taken by the General Services Adminis- tration (GSA) disallowing the carrier's claim for additional transportation charges.1/ We sustain the action. I/ Whitten's claim for an additional allowance of $1,000.53 was disallowed by Settlement Certificate dated August 9, 1985. / , I
