(3) Information on the control region of genes encoded in the transferred 
DNA, and a description of the new traits or characteristics that 
are intended to be expressed. 
(4) Provide known information on activity of parent microorganism, 
competency for genetic transfer, and exchange with other organisms. 
3. Description of Preposed Test 
a. Same as EPA document, page 6, item 2 (delete item 1)

which is (are) targeted to be affected (defined as the target organism) 
by the release microorganism in this test. 
c. Where appropriate describe organisms likely to be at the test site 
which are taxoncmical ly related (need stricter definition) to the 
target organism (and give estimate of rates of genetic exchange). 
d. Where applicable provide a summary of measures which will be used to 
remove or reduce in volume the quantity of applied microorganism from 
the test site upon completion of the test. Include means of monitoring 
and quantifying organisms remaining. 
e. See EPA document, page 7, item 6.
