Subject: File No. SR-NYSE-2023-09 - Objection to the Listing of Natural Asset Companies (NACs) To the Securities and Exchange Commission, I am writing as a private citizen to express my profound opposition to the SEC's consideration of the proposed rule change under File No. SR-NYSE-2023-09, which would permit the listing of Natural Asset Companies (NACs) on the New York Stock Exchange. NACs present a paradigm shift in the use of our land and financial resources, prioritizing ecological goals over economic productivity. This proposal stands dramatically to impact sectors such as agriculture and energy, and compromise our national independence in these critical areas. The potential influence of foreign investments in NACs, especially from sovereign wealth funds, raises alarming national security concerns. It could lead to external control over vital American resources, impacting our self-sufficiency and economic stability. Moreover, the brief period provided for public comments does not reflect the gravity and potential long-term impact of this decision. Such a substantial change in the use of our nation's resources and the orientation of our financial markets warrants thorough public discussion and consideration. In light of these concerns, I implore the SEC to reject the proposed rule allowing the listing of NACs on the New York Stock Exchange. Our capital markets should not be a platform for initiatives that could endanger our national resources, economic independence, and the interests of everyday Americans. Thank you for considering my viewpoint on this crucial matter.
