As a retail investor, I would like to make my opinions as to the proposed rule SR-NSCC-2022-003 known. This rule would provide unlimited scope and power to those who have abusively manipulated the market. Its intention to "alleviate Fail to Delivers," but does not eliminate them, effectively protecting "naked" short selling, a practice that is already against the law. The proposed rule provides even more power to institutions, defending them against their bad bets while acting simultaneously against retail investors. I urge you to withdraw this proposal immediately. Sincerely, Aaron J. Hicks Chandler, AZ USA
