It is from the announcement.

Uniswap governance will be live from day one, although control over the treasury will be delayed until October 17 2020 12:00am UTC. **Control over the Uniswap fee switch is subject to a 180 day time lockdelay.**

In the meantime, UNI holders will have immediate ownership of:
