				  any period of time prescribed by these regulations and applicable statutes,
				  including the filing date as defined in section
				  1181.2 of these regulations, the
				  following rules shall apply:
(1) The day of
				  the act, event, or default from which the designated period of time begins to
				  run shall not be included. The last day of the period so computed shall be
				  included, unless it is a Saturday, Sunday, or state holiday.
(2) Days representing extensions of time and
				  postponements of hearings granted to the parties shall be tolled and may not be
				  counted toward the date on which a statewide cost estimate must be adopted by
				  the Commission.
(3) Days following
				  a test claimant's submission of incomplete information to the Commission, from
				  the date on which Commission staff returns the incomplete information to the
				  claimant up to the date on which the Commission receives complete information
				  from the test claimant, shall be tolled and may not be counted toward the date
				  on which a statewide cost estimate must be adopted by the Commission.
(4) If a party or interested party to a test
				  claim notifies Commission staff that a reasonable reimbursement methodology may
				  be developed for inclusion in pending parameters and guidelines, the days
				  following the date of the notification up to the date on which a reasonable
				  reimbursement methodology is developed, shall be tolled and may not be counted
				  toward the date on which a statewide cost estimate must be adopted by the
				  Commission. The days tolled shall not exceed 60 days from the date of the
				  notification.
(5) If the test
				  claimant and the Department of Finance notify the Commission staff in writing
				  of their intent to develop a reasonable reimbursement methodology and statewide
				  estimate of costs for the initial claiming period and budget year for
				  reimbursement pursuant to Government Code section
				  17557.1,
				  the days following the date of the notification up to the date on which a draft

				  or interested party by mail. The three days added for mail service shall be
				  tolled and may not be counted toward the date on which a statewide cost
				  estimate must be adopted.
(7)
				  Solely for the purpose of determining when a statewide cost estimate shall be
				  adopted, test claims that are amended, severed, or consolidated shall be deemed
				  filed on the effective date of the last amendment, severance, or consolidation,
				  unless otherwise stipulated by the parties and approved by the executive
				  director.
(8) Days between the
				  effective date of the parameters and guidelines and the date the initial
				  reimbursement claims are due to the Office of the State Controller shall be
				  tolled and may not be counted toward the date on which a statewide cost
				  estimate must be adopted by the Commission.
