When an act must be done within a specified time period and, prior to the expiration of that period the Board receives a request for enlargement of that time, the Board may in its discretion with or without motion or notice enlarge that time period for good cause shown. Upon motion made after the expiration of the specified period, the Board may extend the period where the failure to act was the result of excusable neglect.12-180 C.M.R. ch. 10, § 10
