Section 1220-01-01-.11 - TIME(1) In computing any period of time, the date of the act or of the event after which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included. The last day of the period as computed is to be included unless it is a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or day when the office of the Chair of Authority is closed, in which event the period runs until the end of the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or day when the office of the Chair of the Authority is closed. When the period of time prescribed or allowed is less than seven (7) days, intermediate Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays shall be excluded from the computation. However, when the time is fixed by statute, the time shall be computed as provided in T.C.A. § 1-3-102. Any filing required by the Authority by a date certain shall be filed in the office of the Chair of the Authority by 2:00 p.m. on that date.(2) When by these rules, or by a notice given, or by any order entered in a formal proceeding, an act is required or allowed to be done in a formal proceeding or within a specified time, the Authority or a Hearing Officer for cause shown may at any time: (a) extend such specified time without motion or notice;(b) order the period enlarged, if a motion is filed before the expiration of the period originally prescribed or as extended by a previous order; or(c) upon motion after the expiration of the specified period, permit the act to be done where failure to act was the result of excusable neglect; but the time may not be extended for taking any action when that time is fixed by statute.Tenn.
