Dear SEC, 




I agree with the rejection of SR-OCC-2024-001 - and support the reasons for the dismissal as outlined on pages 4-5 of the Federal Register. 




The OCC should not be allowed to shirk it's obligations in periods of high volatility, and reducing margin requirements for it's counterparties just enable them to take higher risks and not be held accountable when their bad bets fail. 




Thank you for upholding the integrity of our financial markets, 




Sincerely, 




A dedicated household investor.
