(a) When, in this chapter, an action is required or allowed to be done within a specified time period, each party may request one routine extension of time in an appeal or petition for review by filing a motion before the expiration of that time period.

(b) Oppositions to motions for routine extensions of time under (a) of this section are not permitted.

(c) Except as provided under (h) of this section, the clerk may order a routine extension of time not to exceed 30 days.

(d) When, in this chapter, an act is to be done within a specified time period,

(1) on motion of a party showing good cause filed before the expiration of that time period, except as provided under (h) of this section, the chair may order an extension of time not to exceed 30 days; or

(2) on motion of a party showing good cause filed after the expiration of that time period, except as provided under (h) of this section, the chair may order an extension of time not to exceed 20 days.
