Subject: File No. SR-NSCC-2021-801

To whom it may concern,

As an individual retail investor I believe this rule - if enacted - will help ensure those participants of the DTCC which engage in high risk or fraudulent behavior to be held accountable. I believe SR-NSCC-2021-801 will encourage transparency within the DTCC which should ensure new investors have confidence in U.S markets resilience and accountability.

I would like to see this rule passed and implemented immediately.

For this ruling, the only potential change which I would prefer would be for penalties enacted for non compliance and violation of SR-NSCC-2021-801.

Thank you for your time consideration.

Sincerely,
Jeffrey Powless
