Dear sec

I am writing as a concerned household investor. This new rule finally provides some level of transparency and levels the playing field for households.
This rule needs to be implemented immediately.
There needs to be a correction. Orders MUST be available to lit markets FIRST. Citadel should NOT be allowed to see order flow before lit exchange.
Why is this even a question. Ken Griffin states in front of congress that pfof is an inherent conflict of interest. This is only being debated now because the sec has allowed citadel a near  monopoly on household investor order flow.
I repeat order flow must go to lit markets FIRST.
Thank you
Richard Wang
