When authorized, shipping PBP\u0026E is considered an administrative cost to the agency. However, for ease of administration in calculating this allowance, PBP\u0026E should be included as part of the HHG shipment, if possible. That is, if the net weight of the HHG plus the PBP\u0026E is less than 18,000 pounds, the agency should ship the items together and pay for the HHG shipment in one payment.\n(b) Any PBP\u0026E that was transported as an administrative expense of the Government to the OCONUS assignment will be returned as an administrative expense of the Government to the place of actual residence or any other location, not to exceed the cost to the authorized destination.","path":["Title 41—Public Contracts and Property Management","Subtitle F—Federal Travel Regulation System","CHAPTER 302—RELOCATION ALLOWANCES","SUBCHAPTER D—TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE OF PROPERTY","PART 302-7—TRANSPORTATION AND TEMPORARY STORAGE OF HOUSEHOLD GOODS, PROFESSIONAL BOOKS, PAPERS, AND EQUIPMENT (PBP\u0026E), AND BAGGAGE ALLOWANCE","Subpart A—General Rules"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-41.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:26:05Z","sha256":"65bc676e86b7ac5d1ac9329190c6a8821b859461e58670ff1191c860c3d7317e","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/41-cfr-302-7.2","next":"us/41-cfr-302-7.4"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
