Sec. 274.3  Custody and duties of custodian.

    Any conveyance seized pursuant to section 274(b) of the Act and this 
part shall be stored in a location designated by the custodian. The 
custodian is to receive and maintain in storage all conveyances seized 
and all conveyances forfeited pursuant to section 274(b) of the Act and 
this part. After the custodian is notified that all proceedings, 
administrative or judicial, have been completed and that all petitions 
for relief from forfeiture have been finally adjudicated, a conveyance 
is available for disposition according to law. The custodian is 
authorized to dispose of any conveyances pursuant to section 274(b) of 
the Act and any other applicable statutes or regulations relative to 
disposal; and to perform other duties, not inconsistent with the 
provisions of the Act, regarding seized and forfeited conveyances and 
the proceeds of sales thereof, as are imposed on the U.S. Customs 
Service with respect to seizures under the Customs statutes, including 
the maintenance of appropriate records concerning the seizure and 
disposition of conveyances.
