If the foul occurs in the fourth period, the penalty occurs in the fourth period. If the foul occurs in the OT, the penalty occurs in the OT.
If the score is tied, the fourth period ends and the OT begins when the ball becomes dead at the end of the fourth. If the score is not tied, the fourth period continues until either the officials leave the visual confines or the score has become tied, there are no further penalties to enforce, and the ball is dead.

Strictly speaking the extra period doesn't begin until the ball becomes live at the start of it. That could be either upon the release of the toss for a jumpball or putting the ball at the disposal of a free thrower.
While you may wish to think of everything after the end of the 4th quarter as part of the OT to help you with administration, you would be incorrect in a few situations. Notification of a scoring error or a CE situation prior to the ball becoming live in the extra period would be two such situations.
