Subject: File No. S7-14-08

As a licensed, independent insurance agent, my livelihood and business may be greatly impacted by the proposed rule 151A recently published by the SEC. This rule adds no consumer protections not already provided by state insurance regulation and would in fact undermine many state initiatives concerning sales practices. I am opposed to this rule.
Please extend the comment period so the public can voice their opinion.

Thank you for your attention.
