Cases
Attached is a copy of pages 39096 through 39099, Federal Register,
Volume 61, No. 145, dated Friday, July 26, 1996, which contain rules of
procedure of the GSA Board of Contract Appeals applicable to the Board's
review of claims made by a carrier or freight forwarder and claims of
federal civilian employees.
The rules implement section 211 of the Legislative Branch Appropriations
Act, 1996 (PL 104-53), which transfers certain functions of the
Comptroller General to the Office of Management and Budget. The Office
of Management and Budget has delegated the functions pertaining to
transportation and travel expense claims to the General Services
Administration.
Claims against the United States involving transportation, and civilian
employee travel and relocation expenses formerly forwarded to the
General Accounting Office for settlement should now be forwarded to the
General Services Administration Board of Contract Appeals in accordance
with these rules.
Please direct any questions you may have on this subject to Mr. Lesley Oden
of this Division on (202) 208-6225.
