alligator snapping turtle (Macroclemys [=Macrochelys] temminckii) and 
all species of map turtle (Graptemys spp.) in Appendix III of the 
Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna 
and Flora (Convention, or CITES). Appendix III of CITES includes

turtles are popular in the pet trade and may also be sold for human

  <description><![CDATA[ We (Fish and Wildlife Service, Service) have sent a request to 
OMB to renew approval for the collection of information associated with 
our Policy for Evaluation of Conservation Efforts When Making Listing 
Decisions (PECE). We use the information that we collect as part of the 
basis for identifying conservation efforts that can contribute to a 
decision not to list a species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) 
or to list a species as threatened rather than endangered.
