Registered and certified mail will be used and service shall be complete upon the deposit of the appropriate document, enclosed in a post-paid properly addressed wrapper, in a post office or official depository under the exclusive care and custody of the United States postal service. Such service shall constitute the giving of notice pursuant to section 2006(7) of the Tax Law and service pursuant to section 2016 of the Tax Law.

(b) Extension of time. The tribunal, administrative law judges or presiding officers may, on its or their own motion, or on the motion of any party, order a continuance, extension of time or adjournment for good cause, provided no statutory prohibition exists. Notice of any such order shall be given to all parties. Where the dates for filing briefs are fixed, an extension of time for filing a brief shall correspondingly extend the time for filing any other brief due at the same time and for filing succeeding briefs, unless the tribunal, administrative law judge or presiding officer shall order otherwise.
