§214   Computation of time.

(a)   Computation.  In computing any period of time prescribed in or allowed by these Rules of Practice or by order of the hearing officer, the day of the act, event or default from which the designated period of time begins to run shall not be included.  The last day of the period so computed shall be included unless it is a Saturday, Sunday or State legal holiday (as defined in §202), in which event the period runs until the end of the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or State legal holiday.  Intermediate Saturdays, Sundays and State legal holidays shall be excluded from the computation when the period of time prescribed or allowed is seven days or less, not including any additional time allowed for service by mail in paragraph (b) of this section.  If on the day a filing is to be made, weather or other conditions have caused the designated filing location to close, the filing deadline shall be extended to the end of the next day that is neither a Saturday, Sunday nor State legal holiday.

(b)   Additional time for service by mail.  If service is made by mail, three days shall be added to the prescribed period for response.
