Moore, USAF DIGEST: 1.. The question of whether and to what extent authorized weights have been exceeded in the shipment of household effects by members of the uniformed services is a matter primarily for administrative determination and ordinarily will not be questioned in the absence of evidence showing it to be clearly in error. 2. Evidence of the weight of household effects when placed in nontemporary storage is not determinative of the weight of the goods when taken out of storage. A higher weight upon being taken out of storage and transported to the new duty station may be due to several factors including use of different scales, use of storage materials which are not removed before shipping, moisture absorption while in storage, and heavier containers and packing cases for a transcontinental shipment. The certified weight obtained in connection with the transportation of the goods, not the weight previously obtained for storage purposes, is the controlling weight. Lieutenant Colonel Robert P. Moore, USAF, questions his liability for excess costs of $351.56 in connection with the transportation of his household goods upon a permanent change of station.!/ The question presented is whether the 1/ Lieutenant Colonel Moore has appealed the disallowance of his claim by the General Accounting Office Claims Group in a settlement certificate, dated August 19, 1985.
