File S7-29-22; Release No. 34-96493: Disclosure of Order Execution Information To Whom It May Concern: I support this rule proposal. It is ever-increasingly important that our markets have transparency and this rule will allow greater insight into the practices of those market participants who may have conflicts of interest. Certain wholesalers claim to provide better prices on order execution, when in reality, they only offer a slightly better price and profit on the arbitrage at the expense of the investor. The proposed changes to ATS rules promote a more consistent alignment with regulatory framework and would be beneficial to household investors. ATS should establish and enforce written policies and procedures to prevent fraudulent and manipulative practices. This protects investors from abuse. Individual investors should have more options available than just sending their order to an internalizer. As with this rule, and other similar rules that promote greater transparency, I fully support the rule and anything to increase transparency and to shine some light on the darker corners of our market where the sinister actions of some cause exponential harm and damage to the market as a whole. This proposed rule is an important step in the right direction towards strengthening the integrity of the market. Keep at it. Sincerely, A Concerned Investor
