Dear Sir or Madam, I am an individual retail investor based in the UK, who has invested in the US for some time. Recently I have become concerned about the integrity of the market with regards to abuses of the short selling program. As such I would like to express my opinion regarding this new proposed rule SR-NSCC-2021-801. I believe this rule, if enacted, is a step in the right direction towards accountability for those who engage in the short selling/stock borrowing program. It is time for an update to the current RegSHO closeout requirements and I believe that this SLD change in process from Monthly to Daily settlement is progress. I would like to see this rule passed and implemented immediately. Lastly on this ruling, I would like to see stronger penalties enacted for non compliance and violation of this rule. Thank you for your time & consideration in this matter. Yours faithfully, Robert Jarvis
