NOTICES
Disposition of Property
In accordance with 36 CFR 2.22(c):
(1) Unattended property impounded pursuant to this section shall be deemed to be abandoned unless claimed by the owner or an
authorized representative thereof within 60 days. The 60-day period shall begin when the rightful owner of the property has been
notified, if the owner can be identified, or from the time the property was placed in the superintendent's custody, if the owner cannot be
identified.
(2) Unclaimed, found property shall be stored for a minimum period of 60 days and, unless claimed by the owner or an authorized
representative thereof, may be claimed by the finder, provided that the finder is not an employee of the National Park Service. Found
property not claimed by the owner or an authorized representative or the finder shall be deemed abandoned.
(3) Abandoned property shall be disposed of in accordance with title 41 Code of Federal Regulations.
(4) Property, including real property, located within a park area and owned by a deceased person, shall be disposed of in accordance
with the laws of the State within whose exterior boundaries the property is located.
