Subpart F_How Do I Count Days For Purposes Of Deadlines and What Happens 
                  If I Miss A Deadline In These Rules?
 
Sec. 15f.28  When I or someone else has to do something within a certain 
number of days, how will USDA or the ALJ count the days?

    Unless otherwise specifically noted, a ``day'' refers to a calendar 
day and a document that must be filed by a certain date must either be 
postmarked on that date or received by the Docketing Clerk on that date. 
For documents that must be or are ``filed'' under these regulations, you 
count the number of days after filing starting with the day after the 
filing date as day one. For other time periods, you calculate the time 
period by counting the day after receipt by the party as day one. If the 
last day of a time period expires on a Saturday, a Sunday, or a Federal 
holiday, the last day of the time period will expire on the next 
business day.
