A facility is being designed at Fermilab to help people contribute to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) effort at CERN. This facility is called LHC@FNAL. The purpose of LHC@FNAL is to permit members of the LHC community in North America contribute their expertise to LHC activities at CERN, and to assist CERN with the commissioning and operation of the LHC accelerator and CMS experiment. As a facility, LHC@FNAL has three primary functions: 1) To provide access to information in a manner that is similar to what is available in control rooms at CERN, and to enable members of the LHC community to participate remotely in LHC and CMS activities. 2) To serve as a (bidirectional) communications conduit between CERN and members of the LHC community located in North America. 3. To allow visitors to Fermilab to see firsthand how research is progressing at the LHC. Visitors will be able to see current LHC activities, and will be able to see how future international projects in particle physics can benefit from active participation in projects at remote locations. LHC@FNAL is expected to contribute to a wide range of activities for the CMS experiment and for the LHC accelerator.

After a brief reminder of the performance goals of the LHC, the overall strategy proposed for commissioning the machine with protons is presented. A thorough commissioning of the LHC hardware systems, presently ongoing, will lead into a staged approach for the first two years of operation with the beam, allowing both the complexity of the machine operation and the destructive power of the high intensity beams to be introduced in a controlled, incremental manner. The demands on the annual machine schedule are discussed, including the need to incorporate dedicated running for ions and proton-proton total cross section measurements. An important pre-commissioning milestone is the injection of the beam into a sector of the partially completed LHC; the motivation and tests planned are briefly summarised.

The proposal to inject beam into a sector of the partially completed LHC is presented. The test will provide an important milestone, force preparation of a number of key systems, and allow a number of critical measurements with beam. The motivation for the test is discussed, along with the proposed beam studies, the radiation issues and the potential impact on ongoing installation. The demands on the various accelerator systems implicated are presented along with the scheduling of the preparatory steps, the test itself and the recovery phase.
