It was part of the two month payroll tax extension deal. Earlier this year, Obama tried to table the whole thing until 2013, but Republicans forced him to make a decision within something like 30 days (of the pay roll tax deal getting signed) in exchange for their support of the two month deal. Remember, Republicans wanted a one year extension.
