There is no written 10 day rule for FINRA to respond that I know of.

FINRA can take several weeks or even months between comments (see post near bottom). The 10 days refers to FINRA rule 6490 and is a rule for the Issuer (company) to provide notice of a corporate action. The Issuer(company) can elect not to provide the 10 day notice and will be hit by hefty fees.

Rule 6490 does not compel FINRA in anyway to have to respond or process the corporate action in 10 days. It may be a rule of thumb that FINRA tries to respond in a timely manner, but does not put a time limit on FINRA IMO.

I'll say it again. The Issuer(company) puts the effective date of the corporate action right on the Forms. FINRA will push back the date if the review process is ongoing. Again, the Issuer(company) puts the anticipated effective date of the corporate action on the forms.

My posts may contain forward-looking statements which may be beyond the comprehension of any backwards-looking individuals. I speculate, this is the OTC after all. In my opinion, all my posts are IMO.
