{"abstract":"The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), an international treaty, regulates international trade in certain animals and plants. Countries that have ratified or acceded to CITES monitor and regulate species listed in Appendices I, II, and III. Any country that is a Party to CITES may propose amendments to Appendix I or II for consideration by the other Parties; any country that is a Party may unilaterally list its native species in CITES Appendix III. Parties submit an Appendix III listing to the CITES Secretariat, which then notifies all CITES Party countries of this listing. With this proposed rule, we are announcing a proposal to include the Alligator snapping turtle (Macroclemys temminckii) and all species of map turtles (Graptemys sp.), native US species, in CITES Appendix III.","action":"Proposed rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR","name":"Interior Department","id":253,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/interior-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/253","parent_id":null,"slug":"interior-department"},{"raw_name":"Fish and Wildlife Service","name":"Fish and Wildlife Service","id":197,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/fish-and-wildlife-service","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/197","parent_id":253,"slug":"fish-and-wildlife-service"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2000/01/26/00-1790.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":23,"title":50}],"citation":"65 FR 4217","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2000-03-13","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"You must send us your comments on this proposed rule by March 13, 2000.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"00-1790","effective_on":null,"end_page":4221,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2000/01/26/00-1790.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/01/26/00-1790/proposed-rule-notice-of-intent-to-include-several-native-us-species-in-appendix-iii-to-the","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/00-1790?publication_date=2000-01-26","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2000-01-26/00-1790/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":5,"page_views":{"count":107,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 14:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-01-26/pdf/00-1790.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2000-01-26","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2000/01/26/00-1790.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"1018-AF69":{"issue":"200404","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/1018-AF69/u-s-proposals-for-cites-appendix-iii-certain-turtle-species","title":"U.S. Proposals for CITES Appendix III; Certain Turtle Species","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=200404&RIN=1018-AF69&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Substantive, Nonsignificant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["1018-AF69"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":false,"signing_date":null,"start_page":4217,"subtype":null,"title":"Proposed Rule: Notice of Intent To Include Several Native U.S. Species in Appendix III to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora","toc_doc":null,"toc_subject":null,"topics":[],"type":"Proposed Rule","volume":65}
