To whom it may concern, I strongly urge you to pass S7-30-22 Regulation NMS: Minimum Pricing Increments, Access Fees, and Transparency of Better Priced Orders. Retail investors are currently at a major disadvantage when it comes to price improvement and our trades affecting the price of a security. No retail investor cares about getting a .0001 better price on their security while our orders don't impact the price of the security we are purchasing. I strongly believe that lowering the tick size will level the playing field and ultimately provide better price improvement for retail traders. I also believe that providing better transparency around odd lot order pricing will eliminate some insider advantages that provide zero benefits to retail traders. Sincerely, Andrew L Harmon
