Computation of Time
type: GovernmentService
description: The Commission makes three minor amendments to the Commission's computation of time rule. First, it adds an illustrative example to the rules to make more explicit that the three extra days added for service by mail where a response period is 10 days or less are calculated from the end of the filing period regardless of whether the last day of the filing period is a business day or a holiday. Second, it provides that where any party is served by mail, and the response period is 10 days or less, the filing period for all parties (not just the ones served by mail) shall be extended the additional three days. Third, it provides that service by facsimile machine shall be treated as hand delivery, not service by mail. The intended effect of this action is to make the rule clearer and more fair.
