How DHS has described the automatic extension rule

This passage is from a notice about Lebanon, not Ukraine. It is shown because it states the general rule in the government's own words. It gives no date for Ukraine.

Under the TPS statute, if the Secretary does not determine whether a foreign state continues to meet the conditions for designation for TPS at least 60 days before the expiration of the country's current TPS designation, the period of designation is automatically extended for six months.
