PBP&E is transported in the same manner as HHG, including incident to separation, relief from active duty or retirement, but aren�t charged against the authorized weight allowances in subpar. B.� When the items no longer qualify as PBP&E, they may be transported or placed in NTS incident to the next PCS as PBP&E.� Failure to transport or place into NTS such articles on the next PCS results in loss of PBP&E status.� Articles which lose their identity as PBP&E are HHG, if otherwise qualified. |

| | Member on PCS from San Diego, CA to Washington, DC (2,595 miles).
Member is 0-6 with a weight allowance of 18,000 lbs.
Member transports HHG weighing 12,000 lbs. (net less 10%) and a boat (no trailer) weighing 20,000 lbs.
The lowest usable applicable Government Bill of Lading (GBL) rate (MTMC's D-X or discount rate plus the MaxPac rate) for HHG transportation of 18,000 lbs. between authorized points is $69.65/cwt.
The MTMC one-time-only (OTO) rate for movement of boat between authorized points is $5,000. |

| | EXCESS COST COMPUTATION | 
|
|

| |         | 
| | ------- | 
|
| | STEP 1: | 
|
|

| |                               | 
| | ----------------------------- | 
|
| | Member's Maximum Entitlement. | 
|
|

| |                                                                                                                                            | 
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | 
|
| | Multiply the MTMC lowest usable applicable GBL rate times the sum of the weight of HHG transported (if any) plus the boat�s actual weight. | 
|
|

| |                                                                                                                                                            | 
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 
|
| | NOTE:� If the sum exceeds the member's authorized weight allowance, multiply the lowest usable applicable GBL times the member's maximum weight allowance. |
