A document filed electronically is deemed timely if filed by 11:59 p.m. Central Time on the date the document is due under the terms specified in the OHA Standing Order on WELSA Proceedings.\n(b) Non-electronic. A document not filed electronically is deemed timely if, on or before the last day for filing, it is sent by first-class United States mail, or other class of mail that is at least as expeditious, postage prepaid; or it is dispatched to a commercial courier for delivery within 3 days. The date of mailing or dispatch must be documented by a postmark date, acceptance scan, receipt, or similar written acknowledgement from the company delivering the document for filing. A document not received within 7 business days of the filing deadline is presumed untimely, but the presumption may be overcome by the documentation establishing the date of mailing or dispatch.","path":["Title 43—Public Lands: Interior","Subtitle A—Office of the Secretary of the Interior","PART 4—DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR HEARINGS AND APPEALS PROCEDURES","Subpart H—Specific Rules Applicable to White Earth Reservation Land Settlement Act Proceedings"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-43.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:26:15Z","sha256":"244f2addd1cd41c49cf0e4996946388b61b94ffcb66af80f8f233f7430deb2d7","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/43-cfr-4.720","next":"us/43-cfr-4.722"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
