reports to RFK Jr.
The article also says that 20 states have state ACA exchanges.. The other 30 states use healthcare.gov (think of it as DrOz.gov).
The CMS is part of the Department of Health and Human Services that RFK Jr. heads. (so think of it as BrainWorm.gov)
No doubt they will calculate and communicate changes quickly, efficiently, and clearly. (sarc)
============================================
As part of a deal to reopen the government earlier this week, the Senate will vote on a subsidy extension by the middle of December. ((the House has to vote on it too -progree)) A straightforward extension of the subsidies, which expire at the end of this year, could be calculated within a couple weeks and communicated to consumers, several officials at state exchanges told POLITICO.
Open enrollment began Nov. 1 and will end, depending on the exchange, in mid to late January. The enrollment deadline for the federal exchange, Healthcare.gov, which covers 30 states, is Jan. 15. Consumers must sign up for a plan in mid-to-late December if they want insurance coverage to begin in January.

The Senate will vote "by the middle of December". It takes 2 weeks to calculate and communicate it (in the best case of a straightforward resumption of the enhanced tax credits) according to state exchange officials.

I suppose Congress can pass a law declaring December to be double-length (62 days) to make the timeline math work out. Or people will have to "go bare" in January. Or sign up for an unaffordable plan without knowing what the premium will be.
Augustus Caesar decided that August would be 31 days so as not to be surpassed by July's 31 days (July being named after Julius Caesar), according to something I read long ago. So things like this have been done before by strongman governments.
A double-length December will also give the admin time to bring prices down before year end
