(1) Periods of time
shall be calculated in consecutive calendar days.
(2) Days shall be counted beginning with the
day following the date of rendition of a decision, order, notice, or the filing
of an appeal. The last day of the period shall be counted unless it is a
Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, in which event, the period shall run until the
end of the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday. For the purpose
of this section, "holiday" means:

(b) Any other day on which the Office of the
Clerk of the Commission is closed;
(c) Any other day on which the United States

Practice and Judicial Administration 2.205(a)(2)(B)(iv) that suspends, tolls,
or otherwise grants relief from time deadlines for the area in which the
appellant resides.
(3)
Appeals mailed are deemed filed when postmarked by the United States Postal
Service. Appeals delivered in person or by courier are deemed filed when date
stamped at the authorized location. Appeals sent by facsimile are deemed filed
on the date recorded by the Commission's fax system or the date received by the
Department. Appeals submitted through the Department's website are deemed filed
on the date the confirmation number is issued, which the internet filing system
shall post on the appeal.
