"When the USPTO is officially closed by executive order of the President or by the Office of Personnel Management for an entire day because of an unscheduled event, such as adverse weather conditions, the USPTO will consider that day to be a "Federal holiday within the District of Columbia" under 35 U.S.C. §21(b)<https://tmep.uspto.gov/RDMS/TFSR/current#/current/sec-7666929d-ca2b-4b63-87fb-be6839398f60.html>.   37 C.F.R. §2.2(d)<https://tmep.uspto.gov/RDMS/TFSR/current#/current/r-dd3769b4-ba32-4c1e-ae39-fcf547198176.html>. Any action or fee due that day is considered timely if the action is taken, or the fee paid, on the next succeeding business day that the USPTO is open."

Why is what the PTO "considers" legally relevant after a TM registers or a patent issues?
