    This table is used by the Office of the Federal Register to compute 
certain dates, such as effective dates and comment deadlines, which 
appear in agency documents. In computing these dates, the day after 
publication is counted as the first day.
    When a date falls on a weekend or holiday, the next Federal 
business day is used. (See 1 CFR 18.17)
    A new table will be published in the first issue of each month.
