delivered to Docket Operations by May 30, 2007, will be treated as

submissions due during the May office closure will be extended from May 
30, 2007, and June 18, 2007, when DMS operations resume. These periods 
of closure and computer inaccessibility will be considered ``holidays'' 
for purposes of procedural rules.
    Persons filing emergency applications or other such documents 
should contact TSA with specific questions about deadlines and 
extensions.
