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.
