This includes test data concerning the new microorganism in a pure culture or formulated form as used or as intended to be used in one of the activities listed above.
(2) A full report or standard literature citation must be submitted for the following types of test data:
(i) Health effects data.
(ii) Ecological effects data.
(iii) Physical and chemical properties data.
(iv) Environmental fate characteristics.
(v) Monitoring data and other test data related to human exposure to or environmental release of the new microorganism.
(i) If the data do not appear in the open scientific literature, the submitter must provide a full report. A full report includes the experimental methods and materials, results, discussion and data analysis, conclusions, references, and the name and address of the laboratory that developed the data.
(ii) If the data appear in the open scientific literature, the submitter need only provide a standard literature citation. A standard literature citation includes author, title, periodical name, date of publication, volume, and page numbers.

(i) Any data, other than test data, in the submitter's possession or control.
(ii) Any data, including test data, which are not in the submitter's possession or control, but which are known to or reasonably ascertainable by the submitter. For the purposes of this section, data are known to or reasonably ascertainable by the submitter if the data are known to any of its employees or other agents who are associated with the research and development, test marketing, or commercial marketing of the microorganism.
