I received a call back from FINRA's Market Operations department. Spoke to Angelina concerning the forward split. She told me that FINRA is not allowed to divulge the "internal information" I was asking about. However, she did say that it is on a case by case basis but it typically takes about 10 business days to review and approve a split.
She was not able to tell me about the date of record as it is considered internal information between the company and FINRA
