As an individual retail investor, I would like to express my opinion regarding proposed rule SR-NSCC-2021-801. 
This rule - if enacted- is a step in the right direction towards accountability among those engaging in short selling/stock borrowing programs. It is time to update the current RegSHO closeout requirements and I am to understand that this SLD change in process from Monthly to Daily settlement is progress. 
This rule should be passed and implemented immediately. 
Lastly on this ruling, I would like to see stronger penalties enacted for non compliance and violation of this rule. 
Thank you for your time & consideration in this matter. 
Sincerely,


Aaron J. Hicks
