subchapter, except in agreement bar situations described in Sec. 2422.12 
(c), (d), (e), and (f) of this subchapter, and except as to the filing 
of exceptions to an arbitrator's award under Sec. 2425.1 of this 
subchapter, the day of the act, event, or default from or after which 
the designated period of time begins to run shall not be included. The 
last day of the period so computed is to be included unless it is a 
Saturday, Sunday, or a Federal legal holiday in which event the period 
shall run until the end of the next day which is neither a Saturday, 
Sunday, or a Federal legal holiday. Provided, however, in agreement bar 
situations described in Sec. 2422.12 (c), (d), (e), and (f), if the 60th 
day prior to the expiration date of an agreement falls on Saturday, 
Sunday, or a Federal legal holiday, a petition, to be timely, must be 
filed by the close of business on the last official workday preceding 
the 60th day. When the period of time prescribed or allowed is 7 days or 
less, intermediate Saturdays, Sundays, and Federal legal holidays shall 
be excluded from the computations.

this subchapter, a representation petition pursuant to part 2422 of this 
subchapter, and a request for an extension of time pursuant to 
Sec. 2429.23(a) of this part, when this subchapter requires the filing 
of any paper with the Authority, the General Counsel, a Regional 
Director, or an Administrative Law Judge, the date of filing shall be 
determined by the date of mailing indicated by the postmark date or the 
date a facsimile is transmitted. If no postmark date is evident on the 
mailing, it shall be presumed to have been mailed 5 days prior to 
receipt. If the date of facsimile transmission is unclear, the date of 
transmission shall be the date the facsimile transmission is received. 
If the filing is by personal or commercial delivery, it shall be 
considered filed on the date it is received by the Authority or the 
officer or agent designated to receive such materials.
    (c) All documents filed or required to be filed with the Authority 
shall be filed in accordance with Sec. 2429.24(a) of this subchapter.
