4.6.5.1.3. Sale or Disposal of Easements.Although the before and after method of valuation is required by these Standards when the government acquires easements,898 use of the before and after method of valuation is not required when the government sells or otherwise disposes of an easement interest. In disposing of easement interests, agencies are therefore free to consider the value of the easement to the acquirer, customary “going rates” or other measures, as well as the diminution to the government’s property by reason of the encumbrance.
