C. If the microorganism to be released is to benefit, a plant or control 
another microorganism, a noxious weed, or an animal pest or plants, 
provide the following information about that target organism: 
1. Identification, taxoncmy, source, and strain; 
2. Genetic characteristics; 
3. Pathological, ecological, and physiological characters tics; 
4. Ihe anticipated mechanism of the interaction between the released 
microorganism and the target organism. 
D. The prospective effects of the introduced microorganism on non-target 
plants, animals, and inanimate objects should be described as appropriate. 
E. Describe monitoring procedures and their limits of detection for survival, 
dissemination, and non- target interactions of the modified microorganism. 
Include periodicity of sampling and rationale for monitoring procedures. 
Collect data to compare the modified organisms with the non-modi fied 
wild- type microorganism most similar to the modified organism.
