# 302-3.406 Weight limitation when permanently assigned to temporary official station.
If the employee is permanently assigned to their temporary official station, they are limited to 18,000 pounds net weight for household goods they may transport at Government expense to their official station. This maximum weight will be reduced by the weight of any household goods transported at Government expense to the temporary official station under the TCS authorization. Subject to the 18,000 pound limit, the agency will pay to transport any household goods in extended storage to the employee's official station. Additionally, if the employee's residence changes as a result of the permanent assignment to the temporary official station, the agency may pay for transporting the employee's household goods, subject to the 18,000-pound limit, between the residence that was occupied during the temporary assignment and the new residence.
