The SEC will spend another 45 days reviewing these two proposals and postpone their decision deadlines to February 1, 2022, and February 6, 2022, respectively. 

The announcements wrote: "The Commission finds that it is appropriate to designate a longer period within which to take action on the proposed rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider the proposed rule change and any comments received".
