The Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) appreciates the opportunity
to comment on this discussion document. The vision section of the
document suggests many different ways that emissions from freight
activities might be accomplished in the future. On Page 42, there
is a discussion about the air freight sector, in particular
aircraft. One bullet point under the column of potential ARB levers
is for the ARB to "partner with airports to incentivize cleaner
aircrafts to come to California". It is not in the airports power
under Federal law to use incentives to prohibit certain aircraft to
come to a particular airport. There is no way that airports would
be able to begin to consider this under today's rules and
regulations.
An alternative might be for the ARB to explore with Federal agency
partners the options for directing cleaner aircraft to operate at
airports in California. 
Airports like the ones under the control of LAWA continue to be
interested in ways to work with ARB to reduce the emissions of air
freight operations. Thank you again for the opportunity to comment.
