(a) The date of service shall be the day when the matter served is deposited in the mail, delivered in person, or transmitted pursuant to section 20168 and 20169 of these regulations.

(b) In computing time periods prescribed by these rules, the day of the mailing or other event which starts the time period running is not counted.
