If a deadline date falls on a weekend or federal holiday where the FCC is not conducting business, the actual deadline is end-of-day of the business day following the deadline. (e.g. if the deadline date falls on a Saturday and Monday is not a federal holiday, then the deadline is end-of-day on Monday).
