I oppose rule SR-NYSE-2023-09 Standards for Natural Asset Companies. The proposed Rule is outside the jurisdiction and authority of the Securities and Exchange Commission because they have no authority granted by Congress over private, state or federal land. This new financial mechanism will harm American Citizens and the economy by preventing mining, logging, grazing, and other crucial activities. The Rule would take away private land rights and will enrich Americas enemies allowing them to control land within the country by creating a new asset class on the New York Stock Exchange while forcing American Citizens to pay for foreign resources. Consider this comment an official objection to this action in my official capacity as a duly elected Wyoming State Senator serving Senate District 3.
