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 jessica.cross@ noaa.gov no later than three business days prior to the 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.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action serves as a notice that NMFS, on behalf of the 
Secretary of Commerce (Secretary), has found that Klamath River fall-
run Chinook salmon, Queets coho salmon, and Strait of Juan de Fuca coho 
salmon are still overfished. NMFS, on behalf of the Secretary, notifies 
the appropriate regional fishery management council whenever it 
determines that a stock or stock complex is subject to overfishing, 
overfished, or approaching an overfished condition.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Regina Spallone, (301)-427-8568.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to section 304(e)(2) of the 
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-

must notify Councils, and publish a notice in the Federal Register, 
whenever it determines that a stock or stock complex is subject to 
overfishing, overfished, or approaching an overfished condition.
    NMFS has determined that Klamath River fall-run Chinook salmon, 
Queets coho salmon, and Strait of Juan de Fuca coho salmon are still 
overfished. These determinations are based on the most recent 
assessments, completed in 2022 and using data from 2019-2021 for 
Klamath River fall-run Chinook salmon, and data from 2018-2020 for
