Agencies determine which of the following methods will be authorized. Employees do not have to use the method selected by their agency for transportation and temporary storage of their HHG and PBP\u0026E; however, reimbursement is limited to the actual cost incurred, not to exceed what the Government would have incurred under the method selected by the agency.\n(a) Commuted rate system. Under the commuted rate system, the employee assumes total responsibility for arranging and paying for all aspects of transporting the HHG. When any PBP\u0026E is transported as an administrative expense of the agency, all arrangements will be handled and paid for by the agency.\n(b) Actual expense method. Under the actual expense method, the agency assumes the responsibility for arranging and paying for all aspects of transporting the HHG and PBP\u0026E with a commercial HHG carrier.","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":"d1ec52183ece231d768abf6f6cab79ce07e73547effd4d56fb9aade5b5a193bb","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/41-cfr-302-7.8","next":"us/41-cfr-302-7.10"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
