Sec.  305.6  Computation and extension of time.

    (a) Computation. In computing any period of time described or 
allowed in this part, except as otherwise provided, the day of the event 
from which the designated period begins to run shall not be included. 
Saturdays, Sundays, and Federal legal holidays shall be included. When a 
stated time expires on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal legal holiday, the 
stated time period shall be extended to include the next business day.
    (b) Extension of time. The Presiding Officer, or Review Officer as 
appropriate, may grant an extension of time for the filing of any 
pleading, document or motion upon timely motion of a party to the 
proceeding, for good cause shown, and after consideration of prejudice 
to other parties, or upon his own motion. Such a motion by a party may 
only be made after notice to all other parties, unless the movant can 
show good cause why serving notice is impracticable. The motion shall be 
filed in advance of the date on which the pleading, document or motion 
is due to be filed, unless the failure of a party to make timely motion 
for extension of time was the result of excusable neglect.
    (c) Service by mail. Service of the Request for a Hearing is 
complete when the return receipt is signed by the Review Officer. 
Service of all other pleadings and documents is complete upon mailing. 
Where a pleading or document is served by mail, 5 days shall be added to 
the time allowed by this part for the filing of a responsive pleading or 
document.
