Sec. 14.32.01.05. Computation of Time Periods

A. Time periods in this subtitle refer to calendar days unless otherwise indicated.

B. For purposes of service of any document filed before the Board, absent any evidence to the contrary, it is presumed that any document served by U.S. mail was received by the addressee 3 calendar days after the date the document was mailed. Thus, a 3-day period shall be added to any time period in which service was effected by mail.

C. A time period is computed beginning with the day after the act or event that initiates the period and concludes with the last day of the period, excluding weekends and State holidays. A time period that would otherwise end on a weekend or State holiday instead ends on the following business day.

D. Extension of Time Periods. The Board or the Executive Director may extend a time period not prescribed by statute:

(1) Before the initial time period ends, without motion or notice, if good cause for the extension is shown; and

(2) After the initial time period ends, upon written motion filed with the Executive Director, if the failure to act was the result of excusable neglect or good cause.
