Hello and I oppose SR-NYSE-2023-09 for the following reasons. allows investors in NACs to gain control over the use of private lands. This is a private property rights issue that is under state jurisdiction. Places conservation defined to limit use to eco-tourism or regenerative food crops in direct competition with productive uses including grazing. NACs should not incentivize over active conservation. There is no legal authority to allow NACs to acquire interests in any Federal or public land. On BLM and USFS lands this would be in violation of multiple use principles. The proposed rule allows unlimited foreign investment in both public and private lands, This is a direct threat to our national interests. Thank you and please take into consideration the results could be detrimental to agriculture Wyoming and the United States. Respectively Bonnie Bath [REDACTED]
