I am writing to express my strong support for File No. S7-30-22; Release No. 34-96494, which proposes amendments to Regulation NMS to enhance the minimum pricing increments, access fees, and transparency of better priced orders. As a concerned investor, I believe that it is essential for the market to function efficiently and fairly for all participants. The proposed amendments would establish uniform minimum pricing increments for securities priced at $2 per share or more, which would help to prevent arbitrary and inconsistent pricing disparities. In addition, the proposed amendments would require greater transparency for better priced orders and access fees, which would promote a more competitive and efficient market. I believe that the proposed amendments would greatly benefit investors and contribute to a more transparent and fair marketplace. Therefore, I urge the Securities and Exchange Commission to adopt the proposed amendments to Regulation NMS without delay. Thank you for your consideration. Dan worms
