should be stated on the relocation travel authorization.

assignment within CONUS. This method will be used without regard to the

Government and results in a savings of $100 or more. Under this system 
the employee assumes total responsibility for arranging and paying for, 
at least the following services: Packing/unpacking, crating/uncrating, 
pickup/deliver, weighing, line-haul, drayage, and temporary storage of 
your HHG and PBP&E with a commercial HHG carrier or by renting self 
drive equipment for a do-it-yourself move. When any PBP&E is transported 
as an administrative expense of the agency, all arrangements (e.g., 
packing/unpacking, pickup/delivery, weighing, temporary storage, etc.) 
will be handled and paid for by you the agency.
    (b) Actual Expense Method. For all shipments OCONUS and where deemed
