Letter Type D:


I am writing to oppose creating and listing a new type of
company called a Natural Asset Company (NAC) on the New York 
Stock
Exchange (NYSE). After much review, I feel the proposal poses a
significant risk to rural and other communities by creating a
mechanism for public and private land to be permanently removed 
from
productive use to solve climate change. The existing laws of the
United States and listings of companies in public markets are
sufficient to allow land acquisition and ownership without creating a
new "class" of company for investors. Under your 
proposed
rule, private interests, including foreign-owned sovereign wealth
funds, could use their capital to purchase or manage farmland,
national and state parks, and other mineral-rich areas and stop
essential economic activities like farming, grazing, and energy
extraction contrary to the best interests of U.S. citizens and
governmental organizations. Russian, Chinese, or Saudi sovereign
wealth funds see particular value in locking up U.S. natural 
resources
for their own self-interest. In addition to the economic harm NACs
would cause, there are national security implications as well. Please
end the drive by wealthy organizations to form Natural Asset
Companies. Their creation is clearly not in the America's best
interest. Thank you.
