        On January  14, 1998, claimant  requested our review  of the
   General    Services    Administration's   (GSA's)    Office    of
   Transportation Audits (OTA) denial of six supplemental claims for
   excess valuation  charges on  freight transportation  provided by
   claimant to the United States  Government.  The Government  bills
   of lading (GBLs) at issue and amounts of each are as follows:
 
        GBL D-1,925,309          $  75.15
        GBL D-1,982,314          $  75.15
        GBL G-0,808,186          $  30.00
        GBL D-2,350,186          $159.60
        GBL D-2,525,348          $  13.65
        GBL D-1,077,138          $  54.60
                            $408.15
        On February  2, 1998,  GSA OTA filed  a response  to McGil's
   request for  review and agreed with claimant that the Comptroller
   General  and this  Board have  previously  rendered decisions  in
   favor  of claimant  on this  issue.   GSA  OTA issued  settlement
   certificates allowing each of   six claims in the full amount  on
   February 18 and 19, and April 17, 1998.  Accordingly,  this claim
   is dismissed.
