I am a house hold investor wish to express strong general support to reject SR-OCC-2024-001 34-100009, which can give the OCC the authority to adjust margin thresholds in moments of high market volatility. 


This is a complete conflict of interest for the OCC as they are required to safeguard both OCC's interests and at-risk Clearing Members. 


We don't know how these margin thresholds for high market volatility are calculated, and everything in the proposal's supporting evidence as related to this is redacted. 



In conclusion, I as a household investor strongly support the rejection of SR-OCC-2024-001 34-100009
