October 15, 2022 Vanessa A. Countryman Secretary U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 2054991090 rule-comments@sec.gov Re: Release No. 3494313 File No. S70822 Short Position and Short Activity Reporting by Institutional Investment Managers Ms. Countryman: Markets must be transparent. The playing field must be level. Access to information must be free, equal, and fair. All data should be real-time, accurate, and easily accessible for the public. These basic principles should not be up for debate. I hope that honesty and integrity guide the rule-making process from this day forward. Concerned market participant that is worried special interests have corrupted our financial markets or the regulatory agencies that are supposed to protect the public. Phillip
