Abstract
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is organizing three virtual listening sessions to garner public comments on a draft research strategy documenting a Potential NOAA Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) Science Strategy as an element of NOAA's Climate Mitigation Portfolio. Perspective gathered during the virtual listening sessions will inform the finalization of this strategy.

Notice of Public Listening Sessions of the Office of Science
Support (OSS)
AGENCY: Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Department of Commerce
(DOC).
ACTION: Notice of public listening sessions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is
organizing three virtual listening sessions to garner public comments
on a draft research strategy documenting a Potential NOAA Carbon
Dioxide Removal (CDR) Science Strategy as an element of NOAA's Climate
Mitigation Portfolio. Perspective gathered during the virtual listening
sessions will inform the finalization of this strategy.
DATES: Virtual listening sessions will be held (all times Pacific
Standard Time):
1. Monday December 12, 2022, 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.
2. Wednesday December 14, 2022, 7 a.m. to 8 a.m.
3. Wednesday December 14, 2022, 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.
ADDRESSES: The draft strategy may be downloaded or viewed on the
internet at <a href="https://sciencecouncil.noaa.gov/Draft-CDR-Strategy">https://sciencecouncil.noaa.gov/Draft-CDR-Strategy</a>.
Registration details for the three listening sessions may be found
here: <a href="https://sciencecouncil.noaa.gov/Draft-CDR-Strategy">https://sciencecouncil.noaa.gov/Draft-CDR-Strategy</a>.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Please contact Jessica Cross, 206-526-
4314, <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#244e4157574d47450a47564b5757644a4b45450a434b52"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="f19b948282989290df92839e8282b19f9e9090df969e87">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This draft research strategy was developed
by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Carbon
Dioxide Removal Task Force (CDR Task Force), a cross-NOAA
interdisciplinary team with relevant expertise in climate and carbon,
coastal and open ocean science, aquaculture development, and ocean
conservation. In November of 2020, the Task Force was charged by the
Senior Research Council of the NOAA Office of Ocean and Atmospheric
Research (OAR) with devising a draft portfolio of CDR strategic
research needs in support of a broader climate recovery strategy
pursuant to Sect. 214 and 216 of White House Executive Order No. 14008,
86 FR 7619, which was endorsed by the NOAA Science Council in January
2022. This document also contains information relevant to White House
memo M-21-32 ``Multi-Agency
[[Page 76029]]
Research and Development Priorities for the FY 2023 Budget.''
These listening sessions are being held to gain input from NOAA
stakeholders on the agency's potential role in the emerging field of
CDR research, as outlined in this draft research strategy.
Public comment is invited on the draft research strategy, with
particular attention to surveying the document for accuracy and
completeness, identifying key gaps, and providing feedback on the
agency-described priorities. In addition, public comments may address
the following questions: In what ways does CDR research intersect with
NOAA's existing mission? Does the strategy accurately reflect NOAA's
full potential in this space? How can NOAA dovetail its CDR efforts
with the mission and work of other existing agencies as part of a
whole-of-government approach to carbon removal research and climate
mitigation? Speakers will have up to two minutes each to make a
comment. As many speakers will be accommodated as the scheduled time
allows.
Requests for special accommodations may be directed to

listening session.
NOAA staff will facilitate the meeting, which will be recorded
(audio only) for use by the Task Force. Participants will be provided a
Privacy Act Statement at the time of the listening session. Moderators
will manage the discussion and order of remarks.

and Atmospheric Research, National Oceanic and Atmospheric
