1 . Host range 
2. Interaction with predators, parasites, and pathogens 
3. Interaction with competitors 
4. Likelihood of post-release evolutionary shifts in these biological 
interactions 
D. Likelihood of exchange of genetic information between the recombinant 
organism and other organisms 
IV. EXPERIMENTS/FIELD TEST TO BE PERFORMED 
A. Conditions of the experiment 
Describe the experiment involving release of the modified organism into 
the environment. Provide information, including diagrams, of the 
experimental location and the surrounding environs. Information provided 
should include pertinent plant, soil, water, aerobiologic , and/or other 
data to assess the containment or spread of the microorganism. 
B. Provide data related to any anticipated or non-ant icipated effects of 
the modified microorganism on target and non-target organisms from 
microcosm, greenhouse, and/or growth chamber experiments that simulate 
natural conditions. The methods of detection and sensitivity of sampling 
techniques and periodicity of sampling should be indicated. These 
studies should include assessment of the following items: 
a. Survival of the microorganism to be released
