The new rule is going to be published soon in the Federal Register, and the comment window will only be 15 days. (Usually they afford a 30-60 comment period, which shows just how fast they want to push this through without getting broad feedback from industry and individuals.)

Edit: Here is a good recap and preliminary response from Coin Center: https://www.coincenter.org/a-midnight-rule-for-cryptocurrency-transaction-reports/

I'm still looking for the way to submit comments--doesn't seem to be available yet.
