As President of Castle & Cooke Aviation Services, Inc.
headquartered at the Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles, with 36
employees in Southern California, I am opposed to the CARB proposal
to eliminate the LCFS's current exemption of jet fuel due to the
following concerns:

1. The new amendment would increase the current price of jet fuel,
negatively impacting the aviation industry's economic impact.

2. Jet fuel was originally recognized by CARB as exempted. This
change would increase company demerits if jet fuel were used,
negatively impacting overall company goals.

3. SAF production does not match current fuel uptake rates, and
this proposal would do nothing to increase SAF availability.

4. Reduction in aviation activity due to the above items could
negatively impact my employment numbers reducing payroll and tax
contribution to the state.

We appreciate the CARB's consideration of my comments and concerns
and look forward to moving ahead to find plausible, economically
viable, and mutually beneficial solutions to sustainable aviation
through the state.
