Looking at the way you've done it, you could to it like this:
if [$(date +%d) == $(date +%d -d $(date +%Y\/%m)/$((21-$(($(date +%w -d $(date +%Y\/%m)/21)-1)))))];
then
// do 3rd Monday stuff...
elif [$(date +%d) == $(date +%d -d $(date +%Y\/%m)/$((21-$(($(date +%w -d $(date +%Y\/%m)/21))))))];
then
// do Sunday before stuff
else
// do nothing :)
fi
and therefore run the NSS.sh script directly.
