A. General:

(1) Unless otherwise specifically provided by the Act, by this Part, or by order, any period of time specified in the Act, in this Part, or in any order shall be counted beginning with the day after the event from which the time is measured and shall include every calendar day thereafter until the specified number of days has been reached, except that:
(a) if the last day is a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, the time is extended until the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday; and

(b) if the applicable period of time is stated as a specified number of "working days," only days other than Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays shall be counted.

(2) When the Act, this Part, or any order requires that an action be accomplished within a specified period of time after service of a document, and the applicable document is served by mail, three (3) days shall be added to the time otherwise required for accomplishment of the action. The additional time shall not be allowed if the period of time specified for accomplishment of an action runs from any event other than service of a document.

B. Determination of date of mailing: When the date of mailing of a document is at issue, the date of mailing shall be determined:

(1) by the date of any legible United States postal service postmark appearing on the envelope in which the document was mailed; or

(2) in the absence of a legible United States postal service postmark, by the date of any other legible postmark appearing on the envelope in which the document was mailed; or

(3) in the absence of any legible postmark, by any other credible evidence.

C. Extension of time:

(1) An extension of time for the filing or [of]any document or the accomplishment of any other action may be granted upon timely motion of a party for good cause, except that no extension of time may be granted for the filing of:
(a) a Notice of Contest or a Petition for Modification of Abatement Period; or

(b) an appeal of any final resolution.

(2) A motion for extension of time shall be filed at least three (3) working days before the document is due or the action is to be accomplished, unless the party filing the motion demonstrates that the failure to file a timely motion was the result of excusable neglect.

D. Definition of "holiday": As used in this Section, "holiday" means any day designated as a legal public holiday in New Mexico pursuant to Section 12-5-2 NMSA 1978, or any other day during which the department is closed for business during any consecutive period of four (4) or more hours between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
