We present the Strong Lensing Science Collaboration's (SLSC) recommendedobserving targets for the science verification and science validation phases ofcommissioning. Our recommendations have been developed in collaboration withthe Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC) Strong Lensing Topical Team. Insummary, our key recommendations are as follows: (1) Prioritize fields thatspan the full range of declination observable from Cerro Pachon during theengineering focused Science Verification phase of commissioning, beforeconcentrating on equatorial fields for the Science Validation surveys. (2)Observe quadruply lensed quasars as the ultimate test of the Active Opticssystem towards the end of the Science Verification phase of commissioning.These systems are the strongest tests known for delivered image quality. (3)Prioritize science validation survey fields (both single deep pointings andwide fields) that have been searched thoroughly by precursor surveys for stronglenses. (4) The optimal wide (~100 degree^2) science validation field wouldinclude the CFHT-LS W4 field, and overlap with the SDSS Stripe 82, DES-SN, KIDSand HSC-SSP fields. (5) The optimal single pointing science validation fieldsare the XMM-LSS and COSMOS Deep Drilling Fields, the equatorial Hubble FrontierFields galaxy clusters, and strongly lensed quasars with measured time delaysthat are well-matched to commissioning timescales.
