ized to be conducted in the facility ; 
(Hi) Such additional information related to the safety of recom- 
binant DNA activities as the Commission may prescribe. 
A -license issued under this section shall be posted in a place in the'

at the facility all of the requirements of this part will be met and' 
the recombinant DNA activities to be conducted in the facility to be

The Commission shall not issue a renewal of a license unless it is
